This week Room 101 had the Hoot of the Week! Congratulations to Logan for being chosen as the Hoot of the week. We had many students work hard the whole week and earn next percentiles on ST Math and finished a Quest on Boost. We also had lots of students earn hoot cards for being focused on their learning and complete 60 minutes on the ST Math app. Wow!
This week we wrapped up Unit 3 in Skills in CKLA. The students have been working so hard learning lowercase letters, the letter sounds, tapping and blending words. We also worked on our chaining folders changing first last or medial sounds in words. We had some fun at practice stations working on first sound fluency, roll and record letters and sentence writing. We also learned our first three Tricky words one, two and three and we used our personal readers to practice reading these words. We also started writing in our journals. We were impressed with the students using their blending strategies to help them sound out the words they wanted to use! We also started getting ready for winter. We started working on our new bulletin board. We painted a giant evergreen tree and painted snowflakes on the tree. Then we made our own paper snowflakes. We learned a little about how real snowflakes are made and that they are all different just like we are. The students had fun with all these crafty activities. Our first set of sight words or Tricky words were sent home on Friday. We will orally assess the students on these 10 words words the week of December 15th.
It was another short week with Tuesday off for Veterans Day. Many students were able to meet their next percentage on ST Math and we also had many students complete their next Quest on Boost. Nice job Room 101!
Our 4th grade partners came down to our room again last week. They helped us learn more about Veterans and Veterans Day. The partners read a Let's Find Out, completed a comprehension check, watched a video about veterans, did a veterans word search and wrote letters to the veterans. Mrs. Parnell dropped off the letters to the Veterans Office. Thank you to Isabel, Nellie, Gitansh and Noah who brought in candy to donate to the Veterans. Thank you to all the veterans who have helped keep America safe. Thank you for your service, we appreciate you!
This week we celebrated two kindergarten birthdays! Nellie turned 6 on November 1st and Daniel turned 6 on November 3rd. We sang to both Nellie and Daniel on Monday morning. We hope you both had fabulous birthdays!
We also had many students earn certificates in ST Math and Boost! We had some students earn their 60 minutes on ST Math. Great job Room 101!
To ease back into school after a weekend including Halloween and eating too much candy the kindergartners and their 4th grade partners brought books and flashlights to school and we spend some time quietly reading with flashlights. We had so much fun!
