Reading Groups
After reading out reading group book, Can You See the Skunk?, we found the sight word stamps that matched the words in our book. Then we stamped them on our paper and wrote the words.
Who can build their snowman first? Draw a sight word card, read it to your friends. If you get it right, you get one piece to build your snowman. Whoever gets their snowman built first is the winner! Ready, set, go!
We had a ball on Thursday during small groups. Ms. Lori let us create an arctic scene from Greenland with homemade puffy paint and homemade textured sand paint. The kids enjoyed adding the puffy fur onto the Polar Bear to help keep it warm. During reading groups, after reading our readers, we played a Cookie Crunch Sight Word game on the Smartboard to polish our sight word recognition. Then, we used our white crayons on black paper to practice our letter formation and orientation of our current sight words. Watch out Kindergarten….here we come!
We used roller paints today to write our new sight word…make. It was a fun way to write our new sight word!
We reviewed our -at family words through matching on Friday and put the finishing touches on our reading group books.
During our small groups today the children enjoyed learning the colors of the rainbow. Our focus this week will be on rapid recognition of color words. During reading groups we were introduced to many color words in our reading book, Birds. We used the initial sound in each word to determine each color. This would be a great time for you to add the basic color words to your sight word practice during nightly homework (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple).
The kids then had a ball reading, writing then stamping each color sight word into their own booklet. We will work on these booklets this week and bring them home on Thursday.
To help cement what we learned today we played a game of color matching using our color sight word cards and our colorful sorting bowls from the math center.
