Day 47

Hello!

Here is what we did today!

Calendar: Today our routine was led by Justin.
Gym: Please see Ms. Lovan's blog for more information. 
Phonics:Today we worked on the short a sound. We reviewed the difference between short a and long a and then made a list of different words that have a short a in it. Next we made words out of play-doh that have a short a sound in it. They are really good at noticing the difference!

Journal: Today we talked about what we like to do in school. They have improved so much on sounding words out and writing within the lines!

Lunch/Recess

Unit of inquiry: Today we continued to talk about plants that we can eat. Together we separated pictures into five categories: flower, stem, leaves, roots and fruits. We talked about how the vegetables look like the category they are in. For example, celery looks like a stem of a flower. Next they continued to work on their plants we eat booklet.

French: Please see Mlle. Jessica's blog for more information

Lunch/Recess

Math: Today we talked about describing words and identifying attributes of the objects. There was hidden objects in a bag and the students had to put their hand in the bag, feel it, describe it and then name the object.
Daily five: We continued with our daily rotation.

See you tomorrow!
