Morning Exploring: Osmo (coding, Monster Studio and Disney Studio), heart art, word work stations (real/nonsense words, CVC word building), Brickyards STEM building, tens frames, double compare with cards
Reading: This week we book shopped for just right books/vacation books/fluency books! We also started book groups to work on skills specific to each different reader and what their needs are. They also visited a word work station to practice a phonics skill, listen to reading station and work on writing. We continued with looking at word chunks/blends and reading fluently.
Math: We did some review and subitizing for our whole group this week and rotated through stations focusing on: teen numbers, toss the coin (intro to decomposing numbers) and shapes (our next unit)!
Writing: This week we talked about the writing cycle and being the boss of our own writing and really taking ownership that WE are authors and illustrators and can do our best! We started checking in with classmates to help us edit/revise. After writing a true story with a beginning/middle/ending/feeling sentence they were able to move on to whatever story genre they wanted either independently or with a buddy.
Social Studies: We are in our Black History unit right now. We are celebrating our differences, talking about the past, recognizing that things are different and that there's laws in place to protect us but also realizing that some people still don't always thing the same and follow those laws. Next we'll look at some very special people who did fabulous work!
Social Skills: Letting our Jaguar PRIDE shine! We are really working hard on thinking before we speak and act to make sure it's all love and kindness and what we can do if we're not feeling those things: walk away, shake it off a bit, take breaths and get back to green zone.
We are now participating in health, counselor (same as always-every other week) and gifted push-in with Mrs. Pott.
