Today's Activities
Writer's Workshop
Many of the children are beginning their 2nd "how to" piece of writing. They surprise themselves with what they realize they know how to do (get ready for school, make a sandwich, draw a cactus!). This type of writing helps them to create a pattern to their writing as well so that when they have finished one page they can refer to it for spelling help (as a resource!)
Math
Children worked with a partner to measure themselves with a piece of string. They had to find 2 things in the room that were taller than them and shorter than them. They recorded drawings of these 2 things in their math workbooks.
Play practice - the children learned what part they would play in our class production of "Manuana Iguana". We had our first rehearsal and the children did a terrific job!
Literacy Centers
*Introduction and reading new "just right" books
*Rhyme Around the Room - the children looked for words that rhymed with a given word on their chart and recorded the rhyming word.
