Today's Activities
Writer's Workshop
Children completed a dictated sentence, "Look at the caterpillar in the grass!". working toward independence and words with more and more sounds, spaces between words, end punctuation, and beginning with a capital letter. Children are invited to continue on to a 2md page of their choice.
Science
"Playing With Collisions"
The children experimented with pushing a "shooter" ball into a group of "target" balls to see how the collision effected the movement of both balls. What does a gentle push do? A harder push? How does it effect the path of the balls?
They recorded before and after pictures in their science journals.
Literacy Centers
Children read individually with a teacher as a "check-in". Mrs. Toohey or I record their reading accuracy with a tool called a "running record". The children are asked to read the new just right book that was introduced 2 days ago. This data is taken once each month and documented in our class records.
Penmanship practice with the letter C.
