This week we had lots of fun!
We sure are lucky to have such great friends!
Speaking of Luck . . . this week we had our Lucky St. Patty's Day Party!
We started off playing our own version of hangman.
The student who was 'it' picked a CVC word out of a gold bucket. After reading the word to me, the rest of the students guessed letters they thought might be in the word. The 'it' student had to write the letters in the correct place, either in the secret word, or under the word if it wasn't in the CVC word they had chosen. Each time the students chose a letter that wasn't correct, the 'it' student added another detail to the leprechaun man. If the leprechaun man was completed before the students correctly guessed the word, the leprechaun man ran off with the bucket of gold and the 'it' student had to tell everyone what the word was. This game gave us lots of opportunities to practice letter name and sound recognition skills, blending and decoding skills, and reading strategies like predicting and inferring.
Next up: Who has the Gold Coin?
Played just like "Button, Button, Who's got the Button?", this fun game helped us with our social skills - taking turns, following rules, and being considerate of our friends.
For our Art Project, we used 3D glue and made beautiful rainbows leading to a pot of gold.
As you can see from Bailee's expression, some of the tubes were pretty hard to squeeze : )
And of course, we cannot have a party without a dance session!
Here we are jamming to the song, "Gold" by Owl City.
The rest of our week was filled with . . .
Counting Syllables
Number Formations
Number Combinations (helping us build a strong understanding of addition concepts)
Sequencing
And learning how to multi-task - talking on the phone while doing our work : )
