Wednesday, October 30

Letter Study: Oo
 Popcorn Word: he

Phonological Awareness: Segment Initial Sounds: A puppet named Choppy will chop off the first sound of a word (h-orse) for the kids to respond (horse) and then use it in a sentence...A cowboy rides a horse. Choppy will continue using other words...
Produce Rhyme: I roll a ball to someone, that person says a word that rhymes with my word. As a class, we decide if the response is a real or nonsense word.

Language Arts: More work on identifying sequence of events in a text and noticing 'signal' words to determine text importance. I am sending a copy of the poster we will use today called "My Tomato Plant" home. Your job is to read through the poster with your child and highlight the 'signal' words. (first, next, then, now) Return tomorrow for a sticker! Reinforcing these concepts is critical!
 A storybook reader is scheduled for 10:10 to read Haunted House, Haunted Mouse.

Computer class today! 

DAILY 5: We have started "Book Club" (Guided Reading) during DAILY 5. While the kids are engaged in literacy activities, I pull groups of 2-3 kids to facilitate reading. It's important to know that you should keep the book for two nights for your child to read each night!



Math: IPads
~Each Wednesday we will be taking a turn using the Ipad cart we share among the elementary school. The apps used will focus on skills and concepts related to outcomes we are working on. Two children per Ipad gives them plenty of hands-on experience!


Smart Room: Oh, the excitement that will appear when the kids see the new stations that promote fine and large motor skills! Pictures to come...

~Be sure to send in your "Ghoulicious" snack item here for the party.
~The kids will be changing into costume around 12:45 tomorrow.
