This morning we used spinners and game pieces to move from 1 to 100. A few of the students have observed that when they spin a number and move forward, it is like adding. Great connection! Later in the afternoon we continued to write our numbers to build our 100 chains.
Our sight words for the week are: or, after, come, jump, my. The students have to use these words in sentences (that make sense!) tonight for homework. When we work on sight words I write them on the board and on the flip chart. We spell the words and use them in sentences. In journals, students write each word three times and then try to write a sentence. Some students can read the sight words when I first introduce them and some need to sound them out. Others have been noticing similarities between words, and today Matty used our "Chunky Munky" strategy! Today I asked them to circle the word they felt was their best - on the line, proper spacing).
In swimming, one group experienced the diving board! So exciting to see the confidence students have gained in such a short time.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and the day after will be our 100th Day of School! As mentioned, no treats please. If your son or daughter plans to hand out cards, please make sure there is one for all friends in the class (26 students).
