Happy St. Patrick's Day!
We had such a great day today! We started out with looking at all the tricks Silly McGilly, the leprechaun did to our classroom. Students walked around with clipboards and tallied up all the silly tricks he played on us. There were quite a few! Then we colored the coloring page he left us. After that we worked on pot of gold number bonds, up to ten. After that we enjoyed a nice recess outside. Then we had reading groups focusing on the /L/ sound and blending with that sound. It is a tricky little sly sound sometimes that blends easily into other sounds. Then we wrote words that have the /l/ sound. At the other rotations we listened to the story "Peanut Butter and Cupcake," Jacks Rainbow Beans (focusing on shapes), and read and wrote sentences from our decodable book. We finished our day with cutting and making our shamrock glasses.
Reminders:
1) Today the books were exchanged.
2) Students have received their Magic 5 Certificates if they have met all five targets. If your child has not met the Magic 5 yet, please keep practicing them at home. Email me when your child is ready to test in a one of the areas. Please keep practicing the magic five even after your child has met them, so they do not forget. I want them to be super solid on them when they go to first grade.
3) Homework folders are due tomorrow.
4) AM Library books are due tomorrow.
5) The book fair is going on now, it started today and goes through next Wednesday!
6) Grandparents day is tomorrow at 8:15 am!
7) Silverwood Reading Logs are due tomorrow!!
Have a great night!
~Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
