KM’s Week in Review:

Monday:
This week we are going to be focusing on the five reading strategies and how they help decode unfamiliar words.  Today the students practiced using picture clues as a reading strategy.  We will be learning about the letter Xx and our popcorn words are no and yes. 

Tuesday:

The students were busy today working on the “chunking” reading strategy.  They found it easy to use.  I sent home a sheet with all of the reading strategies that can be used at home.  I told the students it is a sheet they can keep handy while they are reading at home.  In math have been busy reviewing coins, working on telling time to the hour.   

Wednesday:

The students had fun today creating riddles and then reading them to the class.  A few of the riddles really stumped us!  The students enjoyed music and PE this afternoon.

Thursday:

We had a great time creating our own little creatures today!  The kids also worked on calendar skills, journal writing and reading at their independent level.  Kin-Connect and music filled our afternoon. 

Friday:

No School
