Today we connected too tight shoes with a book that is too challenging, old, comfortable shoes (think flip flops) with too easy books, and shoes that fit perfectly, with a book that is just right. It helped us understand picking out a just right or good fit book for reading just a little bit better. We then practiced picking out just right books and worked on our reading stamina. We also learned more about our academic vocabulary words: genre, fiction, non fiction, text, author and illustrator.
We went to the library today for the first time this year. Library is every Tuesday. Please make sure your child reads the books they brought home (or read it to them) and return the books by next Tuesday. We want students to be able to pick out a library book every week, but they have to return them.
In math we got our first math menu. If you aren't sure what a math menu is, go to our classroom wiki (click on the link on the right side of this blog), then go to the math section and watch the video that is posted there.
We worked some more on our classroom ABC book. Children then worked independently on their books. We were able to show Natalie's and Kylie's on the ELMO, so that we could "stand on the shoulders" of not only ABC authors, but our classroom authors.
Have a great night!
