Today was a bit of a crazy day. We started off with our class pictures. Then we did a language arts lesson, working on the new sight word down. The boys and girls also worked to decipher which word in a list given orally had a different middle sound. This is quite tricky for us (i.e bed, run, red).
We read a story and talked about how all books have a beginning, middle, and end.
Then we did our station work. There, we wrote about our favorite part of school. We also worked with our sight words down and up. I pulled students to do word work with me, building words from the -at and an word families ("Show me rat. Now change the r to an h. What word to you have?" -hat!)
Today we also started science. Because I feel that our boys and girls work really hard in our short time together and we are able to get through so much, we are trying out joining with Mrs. Boeses class two days a week for about 30-40 minutes to explore science together (something we otherwise would only touch on briefly in this last few months). Today we learned about seeds. The boys and girls paired up and had a container in front of them. There was mis. items in there; erasers, seeds, legos, etc. They explored them using magnifying glasses. They sorted them into seeds/not seeds. Then they pasted them onto a sheet with the same headings. They had a blast!! Next time we are making a class garden :) How fun!
