January 25

We have been busy since last week!  On Thursday we used the shaving cream paintings and the pictures that Mrs. Skeels took to make ourselves into ice skaters.  They turned out great!  We reviewed color words and did some writing in the afternoon.  On Friday, Mrs. Skeels was gone.  With our guest teacher we made and illustrated a predictable sentence and made a book for our book bin drawer called "Where are my mittens?"

Monday was an early release day.  Our new sight word is an.  We talked about the vowels a, e, i, o, and u and when to use the word a or an.  In our journals, we wrote sentences with the word an in them.  We went to different literacy centers to practice our sight words, writing, and reading.

 

On Tuesday, we wrote in our journals.  Everyone did an amazing job of using their ABC chart and writing sentences on their own!  We spent a lot of time making detailed drawings to go with our sentence, too!  Our literacy groups each had one job to do and then were able to choose centers around the room while Mrs. Skeels met with guided reading groups.  In the afternoon we did some fun math centers.  We had a great time!

Our 100th day of school is coming up soon.  Watch for the note coming home about the help we need from you!
