Our centers this week included finding nocturnal animals and writing them at Write the Room Center, sorting nocturnal and diurnal animals, playing CVC BINGO, reading books assigned to us on RAZKids, and writing about nocturnal animals using power words that we have learned.
During Phonics, we worked on our last few letters/sounds that we haven't learned yet: Qq and Uu. We learned two new power words: you and of. We continued stretching out sounds and segmenting words, isolating beginning and ending sounds, and reading and writing power words. You can find the words we are working on on the tab above!
In Reading, we read the story Whistle for Willie by Exra Jack Keats and worked on retelling to deepen our understanding, making text-to-self connections, talked about patterns in rhyming stories and practiced rhyming words, and looked at illustrations and talked about their importance. We also learned new vocabulary words: proud, determined, whirl, and scramble.
We learned about Veteran's Day and talked about it's importance with our fourth grade buddies. Thank you to all who have served!
Looking ahead...
