I honor of Abraham Lincoln, we built with Lincoln Logs! These can be tricky to fit together. The kids found them very different to build with than Legos.
Using photos of the recycled robots constructed last week, the kids wrote stories about their robots. These robots had many adventures from fighting bad guys to being very fashionable! After writing their stories, some chose to read them to the class. Be sure to read these fun stories with your little author at home!
Our letter study this week was X. We talked about how X only says its name at the end and middle of words. To prove the point, the kids completed an X book and then used the words in sentences.
We wrote about what we would do if elected the President of the United States. Our future is so bright! With Brilliant Bugs as the President, everyone will be cared for and the world will be a better place!
Of course, we also had to draw a Presidential self-portrait. Lots of power ties and high heeled shoes!
As we continue to learn to sound out words to read, the students made words using the short E sound (as in "egg"). After making and sounding out a word, it was written on a recording sheet. We are beginning to understand the relationship between letter and sounds, how words are formed, the difference between real words and nonsense words, and consonant blends such as "st" and "sm."
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish inspired pictures.
