I'm linking up with Mrs. Wills Kindergarten for a Peek at My Week! It's our second full week of school and we have a ton to do!
Click on my plans for more details and hyperlinks.
This week we're working on the short o and short i sounds. We've been practicing different word work options and we'll continue that this week. The kids are doing a great job using word work materials and I think we're real close to being able to begin our workstation rotations... I can't wait.
During word work my kids will be building words using magnet letters. The kids have been reading the short vowel words and then building them with magnets. Last week we worked on these short a words. I'll have the kids continue to use these and add in the short i and short o words.
This week I also want to introduce the pictures and have the kids build the words using the short vowel patterns they are learning.
In math this week we'll be learning about addition and we'll focus on different ways to make 6, 7, and 8. We began this last week and the kids did a great job using manipulatives to model the different ways to build numbers.
During our Read to Self time the kids increased their stamina on Friday to TEN minutes! I was so happy and proud of them. They have really embraced the idea of reading in book nooks to "get better at reading" and they are truly enjoying it. Can't wait to see what this week brings!
I'm loving these stair treads I picked up at a local hardware store. They're big enough for the kids to sit on in their book nooks but small enough to store away and have the kids grab them when they're needed!
We began learning about apples last week and the kids are excited to begin reading some non-fiction books about apples. I put these apple/fall books out at the end of the day on Friday and several kids couldn't wait to read them this week.

This week we'll be working on finding facts in these non-fiction books. We'll talk about the purpose of non-fiction books as well as the difference between facts and opinions. Then I'll have my kids complete this worksheet to highlight one fact they learned about apples this week.
Have a great week!!
