TOP DOG
Lanuage Arts:
We are practicing peer editing for spaces, very best handwriting, punctuation and capital letters...We are practicing doing our editing in a friendly way so feelings are not hurt! I can't wait to video some of these editing conferences! I want the pups to feel a bit more comfortable though before I put it out there for you all to see! You will not be disappointed!
Feel free to have your little one edit your writing at home! (You may want to slip in some mistakes for them to find!)
We are also, revisiting mental images. Today we talked about chapter books! (We ALL want to read them! Ready or Not!!) We noticed that most chapter books have little or no pictures. YIKES...we use our pictures to help us understand (comprehend) what our story is all about. I thought everyone would fall apart...NOPE...not this group! Jack says, "Well, we just have to visualize!" What are you kidding me...where did these kids come from? Another pup, "...and that means to make mental images." WOW I love this job more than I can ever tell you! We continued to talk and decided that our mental images NEED to change throughout the story. "It's kind of like making a movie in your head as you read!" I LOVE THEM!!!
Math:
We are working hard on number sense/place value to 150! We are practicing using our 100's chart and finding patterns. We know that each row is 10 and if we know one number we can fill in boxes beside it (+/- 1) or on top/bottom of it (+/- 10). We are having fun playing place value bingo as well!
Picture time!
Everyone wanted a picture with Mr. Snow!
Mr. Handsome! He is very proud of his haircut!
YEEHAW! A girl and her BOOTS!
Have a wonderful evening...I know we need the rain...but we are ready for MR. SUN to come out so we can PLAY!
