Making Words - The -it Family

We worked on Making Words again today, as our scheduled Wednesday activity. The students did a great job with the -it family.

Just like last week, this take home activity will be in their folder this afternoon.










Star Student!

Congratulations to our new Star Student, Robert! Robert had a very successful week and deserves his title for the week.

Word Wall Baseball

This morning, students had a spirited game of Word Wall Baseball. Students were "pitched" a word and if they recognized it they took a base and just like major league baseball; 3 outs changed the inning.

Joshua's team took the game with a score of 20 to 3. Congratulation to Team Joshua!

A Teacher's Thrill

There are few things that make a teacher happier than students that are happy to learn and show that love of learning by reading and writing! When this expression is self initiated a teacher is thrilled.

This afternoon, Desiree, a kindergarten student, showed her love of learning in the form of a note to a classmate. She used the resources in the classroom (word wall and calendar) and her knowledge of the sounds that letters represent to write this note.

 "I hope you have a gat (great) day"
"I will come on Saturday but I have to ask my mom"

Fantastic, Desiree!

Writing Better Sentences

Today, students continued creating better sentences by super sizing them.

After working on writing better sentences this week, as a group, next week the first graders will work on this concept individually.



Super Sizing Sentences

Super Sizing Sentences

Students are working on developing better sentences by adding addition adjectives to give details.

We started with I have a toy. And ended with a fabulous sentence telling what kind of toy it is, where it is located, where it is used, and when it is used.

Here We Go!


We have all returned from Winter Break. The transition back to school routines may take a week or so even for me :-) But rest assured, we will be back in full swing as quickly as humanly possibly!
