We are so excited to be starting our first full week of school! We had a great first day on Friday!
This week we will be starting our Language Arts centers in the morning. Students will have whole-group instruction in phonics, letters, vocabulary, and sight words. We will also have a read-aloud. Then we break up into small groups for the rest of the morning. Students rotate through centers. I do Guided Reading, reviewing the skills taught in whole group, and practicing those skills in a short story students will read themselves. Mrs. Banker usually works on phonics, handwriting, or other review games. Students not working with either of us will rotate between computer center (phonics and letter games, read-along stories), listening center (follow along with a read-aloud CD), letter or word puzzles, writing center (practice letters or words with various materials (stamps, markers, wipe-off tracing, letter tiles), and library center (read quietly to yourself or a friend).
In Math we will work on counting and writing numbers 1-5 this week. We will begin Math centers next week.
