Book Time!

     

Did you know there were Super Readers in your midst???  We have been learning about our super reading muscles as we develop our super reading habits. This week we began our booktine routine. We worked with a teacher to select 3 fiction and 3 non-fiction books that we can READ by ourselves as well as one free choice book. We found our book boxes and practiced reading in good reading spots all over the classroom. In the next few weeks we will work together daily to build our reading stamina from 5-10 minutes. Here is what super readers look like during booktime!  

 

   

 

Shared Writing

It takes a long time to reacclimate to school and a new set of classmates. One of the first routines we learn is our shared writing routine. Each day we gather on the rug to interview the job person. This allows us time to get to know each person individually while we practice beginning writing skills on our whiteboards such as finger spacing, spelling and even capitalization and punctuation. Ask your child to show you their "2 finger checkers". See if they can remember anything about the peers we have interviewed already. Be sure to look for our "All About Us" charts the next time you are in. 

 

 

Math!

We have a lot of things to accomplish in math this year. We will need to work together as a team, problem solve, be persistent and build our stamina to name a few! We have been fine tuning our good counting strategies since school began and exploring the many math tools in Room 13. Free building has been a component of almost every math block since school began. Here are some of our creations!

 

 

Introducing Room 13

We are off to a great start...though Mrs. Paget's blogging skills are rusty! 

My apologies for leaving Ryen out of my first post!
