Welcome to our classroom blog. This picture was taken the first day of school. Unfortunately Eva hadn't yet arrived, so we are not complete. We have been Working with the sounds for d and g this week. We added dragon and downward dog to our yoga positions and will be adding gate and geyser as well. Today we heard the story of the "Three Billy Goats Gruff." We retold the story with troll and goat puppets during buddy reading.
This is our center rotation board. The students are learning to look to see what activity they have next. We are continuing to learn the procedures for each activity. We managed to build our read to self stamina time to 8 minutes 30 seconds as a class! Hurray!
We had our first drum circle in honor of the letter d. Here is a clip Erin took of our work together.
We did our first nature journaling on Monday in the barnyard. The duck made an excellent model.
