Building up our reading muscles

Tomorrow is Friday which means there is early dismissal. Please remember to pick your child up at 12:03pm.

Dear Mom and Dad:

Thank you so much for helping me post on the blog! Today we started off the morning reviewing what "read to self" was and then practiced reading by reading the pictures and the words. We learned a new reading strategy called "Peeking Poodle". It's when I look at pictures or clues to decode the word. For example if I was stuck on a word I could look at the picture and look at the letters in the words to figure out what it says. A key thing to this strategy is that it should make sense meaning the picture should match the word. We are building our "stamina" in reading which is our reading muscles. As a triad today, we were able to read for 6.5 minutes. This means that the whole class is reading the entire time. My teachers were pretty impressed being that this is only the second day as a triad together! Ask me to tell you what I do when I hear the rainstick sound.

We are learning a name song to help us remember our friends. Hopefully I can teach it to you soon once we get the hang of it. It was beautiful outside today so we played outside on the playground.

I learned a new math game today. Ask me to tell you what math game I learned and what the instructions are.

We got to work on writing today hooray and we also had "author's chair" where some of us got to share our work on the smartboard.

Question of the day:

Love,

Rainbow Triad
