Today we had a wonderful day! We were so busy I heard one student comment how they thought today went really fast! :) We had a great time working on writing today! We had a "Writing Workshop." We each sketched something we did this weekend, then we labeled our picture, sounded out the words we wanted to write/label as best as we could, then we colored the rest of the picture. I am teaching them that they are All authors and what that looks like, and I loved watching them today as they wrote one thing they did over the weekend. Our students did a very good job of labeling themselves and whom ever was with them in their picture, what they were doing and what was in the setting.
Our letter of the week is Aa and our sight word of the week is The. We are still reviewing the sight words I, We and Can. The more you can work on these words with your child at home (making sure they recognize it, spell and can write it) the more it will help us in class. We read a fun story about several families going on a picnic and what fun they would have there in "The Picnic at Apple Park." The students did a great job predicting what would come next in this fictional book! We read the book "David Gets Into Trouble" and we started making our very own David, which we will finish later this week!
Happy Trails!
~Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
