The students used retelling cards to help retell the story of Duck on a Bike. They did a good job of summarizing the story, and could even remember some specific details!
Mrs. Abbey read, City Signs, which is a book of photographs. Instead of a story, it uses words to label, or name, things that we see outside, such as Fire Department, ambulance, STOP, pizza, etc. The students enjoyed "turning to their partner" to talk about different parts of the book, and to discuss signs that they have seen. The students worked with partners to look around the room and agree on something they wanted to label. The labels we made and hung up today were: locker, alphabet, folder basket, books, and family pictures. We will continue labeling things in our room over the next couple of weeks!
For our writing time, Mrs. Abbey demonstrated drawing a picture of a room in her house, and labeled all the pictures with their initial sound/letter. The students each made one of their own, choosing any room in their house, and labeling the pictures they drew. The students are getting to be very good at identifying initial sounds in words! Way to go!
The students were exhausted when I picked them up from PE. Very sweaty, very thirsty, and very tired.
Thank you to Ryan's mom for helping the students work on writing sounds they hear in words!
Mrs. Abbey pulled groups of students to read into the whisper phones today, and also pulled students individually for trimester assessments. I can't wait to talk with all of you at conferences!
