Happy Tuesday!
We had a great day!
In the morning we had gym class, snacks and circle time. During our circle time, we shared something exciting we did over the long weekend.
Next, in our journals we used the alphabet center. JKs copied the sentence from the board: "This is a ____." And then they had to find in the alphabet center a word/picture to finish the sentence.
We are still practicing good habits of writing skills at a JK level: start the sentence with upper case, use of finger spacing and end the sentence with a period.
We will also continue using the spelling bee words in our journal writing or/and in class games and activities. We don't want students just to memorize and forget the words in a couple of weeks. :)
In the afternoon we looked into reptiles and amphibians. JKs completed an activity where they had to cut, sort and paste different types of animals into "reptile" and "not reptile".
To finish off the day we had centers.
