I now have three weeks under my belt with my new K/1st combo class. It has been great! I am truly enjoying the challenge. I still have some adjusting to do, but overall I am very pleased with the way it is going.
So far we have enjoyed Silly Sock Day and made Monster Food. The monster food was so much fun! It is made up of Spider Eggs (Cocoa Puffs), Dried Worms (Oriental Noodles), Frog Brains (Raisins) and Bat Wings (Sunflower Seeds). We have been focusing on realism and fantasy stories and have read books like Even Monsters Need Haircuts, as well as, There's No Such Thing As Monsters.
We love to read in our class! We are working on building our reading stamina. We read to ourselves, to a friend, listen to books on CD and I read to the class. It is so nice to have students say, "I finished my work. Can I get a book to read?"
I'm very proud of my little bunch of readers!
My Today,
Christy
PS - Want to brag a little on Nathanaelle! She got a school reward, to go out to lunch, for having one of the highest amounts of AR (Accelerated Reader) points!
