Happy Monday!

Morning circle time – we had our special helper of the day adding the date to our calendar, we sang our morning songs, then added one more popcorn to our 100^th Day of school counting. Today is Monday, so we had our sharing time. JKs shared with the class something they did over the weekend. 

Reading Buddies – During reading buddies, students will benefit from:

·        - hearing stories read-aloud (modeling of reading fluency, phrasing and expression)

·       -  having conversations with an older student about topics that interest and involve them (extending their vocabulary, oral language abilities)

·        - having regular opportunities to practice familiar reading with 1:1 assistance

·        - enjoying fun, positive experiences with ‘big kid’ who is now a recognizable face in the school community

Snack – JKs were encouraged to eat a healthy snack.

Language – we reviewed our phonics song for all letters learned so far. Here is the link for our weekly Jolly Phonics songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K2rxtgQpd0

This is the song for letter Q: https://youtu.be/CZ6L8EmV3gg

Then we had 2 ways of practicing writing the letter of the week, which is Ss. JKs used the dry erase boards and play dough.  

Math/UOI – today we used a variety of nature materials to form AB, ABC and ABB patterns.

Centers -  today JKs had different types of blocks to explore. Blocks are great for developing the following: problem solving, imagination, self expression, mathematics, creativity, science, self –esteem, social and emotional growth.

Poem Practice – JKs are working hard at practicing the following when presenting their poem:

-         Projection

-         Pacing

-         Enunciation and Articulation

-         Memorization

-         Body Language

Poetry memorization builds vocabulary and comprehension. As students practice their poem presentation in class they are building presentation skills, which leads to a sense of pride, satisfaction and accomplishment. Keep up with practicing at home as well! J

Have a great evening everyone!
