Hello everyone!
We started our day by doing some partner reading. Yesterday, we got to visit the library and check out a book with our very own library cards! So, we shared our new library books with a friend.
We reviewed our second set of letter sounds using our gumball game. We have been practicing with syllables. We learned that syllables are parts of words. Usually, syllables have 1 vowel. (ex: el-e-phant). We practiced clapping out the syllables for lots of words. Today, we each got Elkonin boxes. Elkonin boxes can help us count out the sounds in individual words. We used them today to break several 3-letter words into their sounds. Then, we changed 1 sound in the word to make a new word. We spelled 10 different words on our own!
We have been reading a book about our sense of taste. Each page asks a question (ex: What is your favourite snack? Is your favourite snack salty, sweet, sour, or bitter?). We read a page, and then turn and talk with a partner about the question. We then share some of our discussion with the class. We've been having lots of fun thinking about the different types of tastes we like and dislike! Today we also looked at our snacks to see which kinds of tastes we could find.
We had music with Mr. Wiens today. Afterwards, we talked about the number 10 in math. We completed our number 10 page in our printing books and then brainstormed ways to show 10. We came up with 8 different ways and we each picked 2 to put into our printing book!
We went to the gym and practiced our throwing and catching skills again, before returning to class and reading a chapter from our class read-aloud! We are so excited to be reading a chapter book. It's called "My Weird School" and it is about a kid named AJ who thinks that his teacher is actually a spy! We have been trying to fit in 1 chapter a day. Today, we read chapter 5.
