So the truth is. . . . Wednesday was really tiring. Everything was so new to the kids.
By Thursday, it got easier. Friday was a great day. We even began experimenting with the center board. This was a big step. They all did a great job staying at their center and picking up when it was time to rotate. This practice is crucial for successful reading group time. We need the kids to be able to stay at their centers and not constantly interrupt our reading instruction. I was VERY pleased by how well things went the first time. Each of the kids earned a fish for their good work in this area.
Thank you for sending me such cool kids to work with!
I am excited to start putting pictures of the kids on this blog. I will send out a permission form soon.
I do not ever post the kids' names. However, it you are not comfortable with your child being on the web, that's okay. For those who are okay with it, it will be a great way for you to visit our classroom virtually.
Here are a few Youtube clips we watched this week. Please be sure to monitor your child while on Youtube. As you probably know, there are lots of great things on Youtube, but there are also some things we wouldn't want our kids accidentally clicking on.
