What a snow storm we had today! We hope everyone got home safely and stay warm.
We worked on a new reading strategy called "Chunky Monkey". This is a strategy I can use to read words that I don't know. We discovered many words and sounds we know in one word. I can look for a chunk I know (-ing, -and, -art, -old) and look for a word part I know (be-, -er), this can help me decode new words.
In writing, we looked at a picture prompt and came up with some questions to wonder about what was happening in the picture. Ask me to describe the picture to you. We talked about what, when, who, why, where questions to help us get our imagination going. During writing, I am working on writing out words with the sounds I hear on my own. It is important for me to be confident in my writing and that I am trying my best.
In the afternoon we worked on an art project. We read the book called "The Best Part of Me" and talked specifically about our hands. We came up with different ideas with this sentence starter, "With my hands I can______". We came up with some great ideas!
".....steer my bike." (Koen)
".....catch things." (Aaron)
"....feel things." (Lincoln)
"....pick up things." (Logan)
"...eat things." (Fiona)
"....wave to people." (Josh)
"......shake hands." (Jack)
"......give ice cream." (Abby)
"........give hugs." (Kaitlyn)
We traced our hands and then used our knowledge of patterns to come up with a colorful design for our hand art. I had to remember to keep all the crayons happy. They turned out beautiful!
Question of the day: What can you do at school with your hands? With my hands I can........
Love,
