We took a quick brain break and sang and danced to the song, "Going on a Bear Hunt!" Then we dove into reading. We worked on identifying sound position for the letter S. The boys and girls listened to a word I said, then stretched it out to decide if the s was at the beginning or end of the word (i.e Soup--"Ssssssooooouuuupppp....Beginning!") They then did an activity where they practiced tracing S's and then coloring according toif it was an uppercase S or a lower case s. The picture revealed a snail.
Identifying if the S was heard at beginning or end
We gathered on the carpet for the last 10 minutes and chatted about our fun friday events. The students also earned a brownie point because nobody had to move their clothespin down to a foul! If we fill the brownie tray we get another fun day during the week, so the kids are trying really hard.
The students have really earned their fun friday tomorrow! I can't wait to enjoy all their hard work with them!
