Week in Review

KM’s Week in Review:

Monday:
This week we will focus on the letter K and our popcorn word is have.  This week the students are working on identifying story elements (main characters, setting, problem and solution) and how to put them into a story map.  We read the book Lilly’s Big Day, by Kevin Henkes and enjoyed the story!  Lilly had a great solution to her problem!  J  We also identified the shapes, played I Spy Shapes in the classroom and created pictures using pattern blocks.  It was a fun day!

Tuesday:

Today we read Pinkalicious and discussed the story elements as a class.  The students are getting better at identifying the story elements.  Then the students were put into pairs where they completed a story map together.  Another success!  The dime was introduced today.  It is important for the students to know the coins and to be able to identify their amount by the end of the school year.  Thank you for all of the extra practice and support you provide at home. 

Wednesday:

Today the students had a great time creating colorful shamrocks to hang from our classroom ceiling.  They are really pretty!  The students continue to work hard during Daily 5 and are making improvements in both reading and writing.  They are becoming fluent readers and creative writers! 

Thursday:

I am so proud of the students because they earned a Kendall Kritter this morning!  They earned it because they left their lunch tables clean yesterday after they ate lunch.  J  How respectful and responsible!  They have earned a celebration because they have made another trip around the world.  Tomorrow the students will be able to bring their favorite stuffed animal to school.  Also, Mrs. Resler came today and taught the Kin-Connect for the month of March.  The students had fun learning about St. Patrick’s Day. 

Friday:

The kids had a great time today with their stuffed animals!  I am so proud of them!  They have been respectful and responsible students.  They also are being active listeners and learners.  Keep it up, KM!  We continue to review the coins and their values, in addition to learning time to the hour.  The students have also done a fabulous job this week and understand the story elements in a story.
