We made a chain with 180 links. Every day we take one link off of our chain. So every day we count up (the days of school) and we count down (the days left of school).
We made a class puzzle. Every person had their own puzzle piece to decorate. After everyone finished their puzzle piece, we put the puzzle together. We talked about how everyone is an important piece of our classroom puzzle!
We started Fundations, which is our phonics program. We have been reviewing all the letters, keywords, and sounds. We have been practicing which lines to write our letters on. We call the lines the sky line, the plane line, the grass line, and the worm line.
We started math. We reviewed numbers. We made chains of numbers from 1-9 and matched the number cards to them. We have been reviewing how to write the numbers and which lines to put the numbers on. We learned about bar graphs, pictographs, circles, squares, and rectangles.
In reading we are working on starting up daily 5. We learned about the first center - read to self. We practiced this center - we call that building our stamina! We also met with our fourth grade reading buddies on Friday.
Religion - This year we will have a Religion book. We looked through our book. We went over to our prayer table. We learned about the items on our prayer table. We talked about different types of prayers. We looked through our Children's Bible, which we will be reading from a lot this year.
Classroom door - Our classroom door started out as a black, blank slate. The students created hand prints that we are using for a flower. The theme - We are each unique and beautiful, but together we are a masterpiece!
We are off to a great start! Have a wonderful week! :)
