It was excellent to be back with the class today.
We had a wonderful day! We started the morning picking new jobs and getting used to a little bit of a new set-up (Our classroom got an AMAZING new easel that is soooo useful so we've shifted things a little). Our read aloud this morning was Miss Nelson is Missing, a VERY clever little story about a mysterious substitute teacher (very time appropriate).
We took the rest of the morning to get caught up on what happened last week. The class gave me a report of what they did with Mrs. McDonough and even taught me a game that they learned during Healthy Play (with our special guest teacher, Spencer).
After recess we worked on a booked titled "Floating Down". This book is a repetitive literacy exercise that helps not only with reading and tracking, but also with color identification. Students underlined and colored in the story and will practice reading it again tomorrow.
During math choice time students had the option of working with several different manipulatives including Linking Cubes, Pattern Blocks, and Peg Boards.
After lunch we had Computer Lab where students once again had Free Choice in the Jumpstart Kindergarten program. Next week we will be starting work on an educational website to which I will provide the address as soon as I am sure what it is ;)
Before packing up to go home, we read Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham and students helped to read it, filling in words that I omitted at the end of lines. They are picking up on the fact that the rhyming of the words is what makes it easy to fill in the blanks.
