Snowman Countdown

Read Aloud: Hop on Pop. After reading this story we played with the -at word family (creating words like bat, cat, sat, that, etc.) and the -op family (bop, drop, stop, etc.)

Reader's Workshop: We discussed and worked on identifying letters, words, and sentences. We reviewed that sentences start with a capital (or uppercase) letter and ends with a period.

Math: We created a Snowman Countdown to Winter Break. Students wrote the numbers 1-10 on the snowman, decorated, and created a linked chain which they are supposed to color in and rip each school day.

The Potluck: To go with the pages we had created earlier in the week, we drew patterns around the borders of plates and mounted our pages. These will be bound into a class book that will begin to be sent home in the new year.

P.E.: Unfortunately, due to the weather, P.E. was canceled today.

Red Mystery Book Bags: Every student had returned their book bags and was able to check out a new mystery book. Remember that these books do not need to be returned until the next Wednesday and should be read several times while at home.
