Here is a glimpse of our week in the fish classroom:
Literacy: This week we officially launched Readers' Workshop. The children have been busy learning the routines and rules of this literacy time. We have picked our reading spots and are getting really good at following the procedures. I love to hear the children cheer in excitement when it is time to read! We also have begun Writers' Workshop. We are doing our writing during center time. The children are working on learning these procedures as well. During Shared Reading we worked on the book In the Mirror by Joy Cowley. The children reviewed sight words and revisited what a word is.
Math: We have been working on sorting, adding and representing numbers using 10 frames. We also continue to order tricky teen numbers.
Library: Mrs. Wigode has read all of the Ladybug award winners to us during our library time. The children voted on their favorite story. Our totals will be added to the SMS school voting totals.
Visual Arts: Our gingerbread and winter-themed art projects are under way!
