After reading, Rainbow Fish, we talked about how each one of us is unique and special and then made our own Rainbow Fish to show how special we are.

When learning math partners, we acted out our facts by pretending to be "lambs" and jumping over the fence to the other side to create the partners.
After acting our our number partners, we used our math materials to show the number partners on a math mat.

While working on math partners, we learned about stair steps and one more and one less. They enjoyed seeing the concept visually.
During the last day of the month (August) we had our July/August Birthday Celebration for our friends with birthdays in those months. Happy Birthday to Jimena, Logan, & Jasmine :)
We had treats and juice and listened to some KidzBop...they really enjoyed it.
I enjoyed watching their dance moves, hehe.
Working on our word study word sort with the words with short a.
Working on their word sorts.
Today, we learned how to write in our journals (Day 1 of Writing Workshop).
Sara did a fantastic job. Notice, the date, beginning sentences with a capital letter, ending with punctuation, finger spaces, nice picture. Day 1 was pretty good :)
Word Study Word sorting short a words from our decodable readers.
All in all, we've done a lot of learning, been working on a lot of routines and I think it is paying off. I am seeing the smartest, sweetest, kids ever. They are also doing really well with our New SOAR school wide behavior program. We have the most tickets/crickets in the entire school. Ask your child how we earn our tickets and what they mean. :)
