We have been reading MANY Dr. Seuss books over the last two weeks. We are having a great time with the silly characters and rhyming! This week, we made a class book based on Dr. Seuss' One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Centers this week include rhyming practice, reading words, drawing, writing sentences, finding numbers on a hundreds chart, making -an words, and listening to a book on CD. There is also a handwriting activity to go with the assigned centers.
I have been pulling my small reading groups 3 times each week. We are having such a great time as the stories become a little more complex and interesting. We have read many realistic fiction books with lots of dialog. I am so impressed with the readers in this room! Your reading practice at home is important to our work in the classroom!
In math, we are finishing up our chapter on measurement and comparisons. We continue to practice counting coins, telling time, graphing, and simple addition throughout the day. We have also done some fun Dr. Seuss activities for math. One exiting game that we will play later this week involves throwing coins onto a bullseye and adding the numbers!
Other fun events this week include a short concert by the middle school band and a trip to the high school for the FFA's petting zoo. Playing outside has been wonderful as well with the warmer weather! Let's hope it sticks around for a while.
Reminders:
Library books are due each Tuesday.
Check the snack calendar!
Be sure to have your child read the books in his/her reading bag each night.
