We are working on the letters E and O and sight words go and we this week. In math, we are working on teen numbers, estimation, counting to 100, counting by 5's and 10's to 100, and counting backwards from 20. We have been practicing writing our numbers 0-31 daily and working on sequencing numbers 0-31 with flash cards.
PALS is officially up and running. Students are doing the large group word game and partner work in PALS (Monday-Thursday). During partner work students are being introduced to/reviewing letter sounds, working on sight words, and working on stretching and reading three letter words.
We have just added Listening to Reading to Daily 5. When students are signed up for Listening to Reading they may read a book on the iPod or listen to a book on the iPod. During Daily 5 time students are Reading to Self, Working on Writing, doing ABC Word Work, and Listening to Reading for 30-45 minutes a day. Students complete two task a day and the next day they do the other two tasks. Students have been doing a nice job working quietly during Daily 5 time. We are now working on working the whole time. While students are working on Daily 5 work I am pulling them in small groups and having them read books or work on letters/sounds.
