We started out on Monday by eating ice cream in our pajamas! What could be better than that? Everyone looked adorable and cozy in their jammies!
We also started our "Daily 5" rounds this week. Daily 5 is a classroom management system that allows each child to work at their own pace and ability while I am teaching small group reading. Each day, the students choose their own "rounds" which also gives them freedom and choice in their day. Our rounds consist of...
Read to Self
Work on Writing
Read to Someone
Word Work
And coming soon...Listen to reading. Again, this system gives me the opportunity to hold small group reading lessons at each child's individual reading level!
We ended our week with Apple Day! This morning, each child got to peel the apple they brought and add it to the applesauce pot. Our applesauce was warm and ready by the afternoon! We tasted the applesauce, apple cider, and a slice of a red, yellow and green apple. Everyone had a great time!
