We starting putting together sounds to make words !
We take out certain letters and we use those letters to make words.
For example: I said the word "cap" and then said it slow enough to hear each sound in the word
After we have made the word then I say "take the c away from cap and put another letter in  to make the word man" and so on.
They did very well for it being their first time !
We had a lot of fun and we are well on our way to reading and writing words!

In between our Daily 5 rotations, we come together on the caterpillar carpet and do some fun songs so we are moving and get our wiggles out so we can be the best workers we can be.
Ask your child about the songs/actions for: bubblegum, going on a treasure hunt, head and shoulders(counting to 10), going on a bear hunt, macarena months, days of the week, and opposites.
We giggle and laugh and have fun with these songs and I keep added new songs all the time.


Other News:
*School pictures are next Wednesday - picture envelopes will be coming home soon.

*If your child does not know there lunch number please work on them - they need to know them.

*The words we know so far: I, a, and, is, can, me  (they all have songs and actions that go with them).

*Please have your child wear tennis shoes to school every day - they need them for phy. ed.  and to play on the playground since there are wood chips underneath the playground equipment.  THANKS!
We are in full swing with our Daily 5 !!!
Today we got to choose which Daily 5 we wnet to first, second, and third.

We have started learning our "star words" !!!!
We usually learn 2 new words every week
(but this week 2 of our words were sooo easy that we decided we could learn 2 more this week)
 
We have a song and actions that go with each word
and
we do activities through the week to for each word
 

 
 
We have been going over different ways to read a book
and we have been practicing the 3 ways during our "Read to Self"
 
During the Daily 5, one of the things we do is "read to self"  we have been going over what we do during that time.

 
During"Read to Self" we have made it up to 8 minutes of reading !!
We are very proud of the fact that we can read for 8 minutes already !!!

 
Today we read Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse and we wrote on a journal page for the first time !!!
We drew a picture of our favorite toy and then we tried to wirte the sounds we heard.  Everyone picked a different toy and tried their best to write the name of their toy.
We shared our journal pages on the smartboard.
