Today was one of those just plain terrific days for students and teacher! I am so pleased with how everyone has settled in with our routines, and how they are ready to learn each and every time we gather for a lesson. Here is an example of listening and cooperation: I introduced our Scholastic News Let's Find Out newspaper for the very first time! We watched the story on our smartboard about all kinds of friends, then I explained how to do each activity (patterning, counting, and reading a little book). To my amazement, EVERY student gathered their materials in the order I asked them to, and went right to work! Can you spell "i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-c-e"? :) I was truly in awe as I watched these little people do exactly what I asked them to do. Of course, some of our little friends tried their best, and may have made a couple of itty-bitty errors...but everyone tried, and everyone felt successful! This is teacher heaven when something like this happens! :) Another thing we did was learn about matching letters to the picture whose sound they begin. Again, my little guys went right to work cutting out the letter tiles and gluing them to the correct pictures. What a fun Friday! Here are pictures of our letter sound activity. Enjoy! :)
Time to go home! Here we are at line-up time :)
