The Big Reveal!

What a week we've had!  We are in full swing with Daily 5.... Some of us are at read to self, others are reading to someone, a few are at listen to reading, and some are working with Mrs. Yohler or I.  We are moving into a very good routine to start moving through our letters, sounds, and sight words!  A few of us are even reading simple books!

We are working our way through the days of creation.  This helps us both learn about all God created as well as retell the events in sequence!  Good readers remember stories in order and can retell them.  Ask your child to retell the story so far!  We use hand motions to help, so here are some prompts to get them (and you!) started:

  • Day number 2... God made the...
  • Day number 3... God made dry...
  • Day number 4... God made the sun...
  • Day number 5... God made everything that...
  • Day number 6... God created creatures of ....

SNEAK PEEK:
Since Day 6 was the end of this week, we brought in our class pet!  Everyone was so kind and let her get use to us.  This afternoon we all got to feel her quills.  Ask your child what Cinnamon felt like!  A few of us got lucky and held her for just a quick photo! (The towel was most helpful!) :)
