Lots of learning going on!

I introduced the "Read to someone else" station today...it was a big hit! Reading to someone else is a great way to build fluency as well as getting more confident with their own reading. I told the class that when it was their turn to read to someone else, they either had to read to their partner, or they could choose one of my book bears.

My husband used to travel a lot when we were dating and he would always buy me a Hard Rock Cafe bear. I have had them in storage for years because I don't like to get rid of anything, so I thought today would be the perfect day and way for these cute bears to be used! I introduced the class to my friends San Antonio, Memphis, London, Paris, New Orleans, and New York. Aren't they cute?!?!





Emann did a great job with Rainbow Writing the sight word "I" with our new dry erase crayons that Nicholas brought. Thanks so much for the fun crayons!


We learned all about the number 3 this afternoon. Nicholas, Chloe, and John helped us see what 3 piggies would look like inside of a ten frame.


Then we practiced writing the number 3. Let your child practice this at home...it's a tricky number!






We went to computer lab at the end of the day and got to practice using the mouse on Microsoft Paint again. The kids did a great job drawing different shapes and coloring them.
