Read Aloud-Big Book-The Three Bears-This was a more traditional version.
Shared Reading-The Elephant Poem-We found all the Ee's. The Five Fingers Poem-We found all of the Ff''s.
Reading Centers-We had six centers-We did elbow painting for the letter"Ee". We did feather painting for the letter "Ff". We had a find the letter center-we used the poems from our shared writing. We had white boards out to practice writing our letters. We had the listening center open along with the book corner for a book look.
Rest Time-I read another version of The Three Little Pigs. In this version the pigs made waffles and at the end the wolf became a wolffle and all of the meanness was steamed out of him.
Writing-We started writer's workshop today. I introduced our writing folders. I modeled writing a story about something we know a lot about. I modeled sounding out words to spell words. We talked about being authors and illustrators. Everyone is working on writing their first story. Some kids finished and others are going to finish tomorrow. We had a lot of pet stories, a few dolphin stories, a princess story and a dragon story. Ask your child what story he/she wrote today. At the end of writers workshop, we did a quick share. Anyone who wanted to share could show and share.
We played outside for a few minutes at the end of the day.
