    Monday: During our morning meeting, we did our alphabet card greeting. We segmented sounds to label two picture cards. During phonics, we segmented sounds to write words on our dry erase boards. We practiced some words with blends and we wrote a sentence also. We listened to the story, Strictly No Elephants. We took a sneak peek and made predictions as we read. During writer’s workshop, we learned how to be “meticulous” when writing sentences. We learned to make our letters carefully and leave spaces between words. We worked on our “How To” pieces. During math, we found different ways to make partners for 8 and 9 using ten frames and counters. We chose our next purposeful play spots.                                             

    Tuesday: During our morning meeting, we did our alphabet card greeting. We practiced counting by tens and ones. It was STEAM day today!

We listened to the story, Rosie Revere, Engineer. Then we made a paper airplane and tested it out. We used 60 Keva Planks to build a track with a ramp for a marble to roll on. We did a mystery person game. We had to measure the length of 5 staff members' shadow outline, using connecting cubes in groups of ten. Then we had to guess each mystery person. We had a great time! We chose our new purposeful play spots.
