They also really liked playing "Bee the Word" I put all the cards in a sentence together in a mailbox and called groups to come up and take out the cards.
Each kid in the group got a card and they worked together to get in the right order. A few groups needed hints (the period goes at the end... the capital goes at the front) but most of them did great!
I also taught them how to make a heart this week and we did an interactive writing piece to go with it. I had planned on letting them keep their hearts but they really wanted me to hang them up, so we decorated around our writing with their hearts.
We read Froggy's First Kiss about halfway and then the kids made predictions on whether or not Froggy would kiss Frogilina. They graphed their classmates predictions and then we finished the story and wrote what really happened. During math they graphed their favorite character.
We also started learning about Abraham Lincoln this week (We'll do Washington next week). We of course had to start the week talking about Presidents and what they do.
We started writing President's Day books, I will post pics of those next week when they are done.
Dd was one of our letters this week so on Friday we sorted and graphed DOTS!
