The Sparrows' Monday began with library. Friends entered the library ready to return their previously checked out books and listen to a read aloud. Once their books were returned, friends found a seat on the rug. The Sparrows were such a wonderful audience that Michelle read us not one, not two, but three books! After reading together, friends were free to explore the library and choose from books placed out on the tables.
Back in the classroom, friends continued with the choices placed out earlier this morning.
After a bit of choice, friends cleaned up and got settled for Morning Meeting. We had a moment of silence, sang our good morning song, read over the schedule, calendar, and question of the day.
Today we read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! Friends interacted and helped with the reading. Every time Chicka Chicka Boom Boom was written in the book, friends belted out the words all together. Friends pointed out the lowercase letters, rhyming, and made many observations and predictions about the story.
Following reading, we had a group discussion about letters and the alphabet. Next, a bin of letters was placed on the rug. Friends took turns picking out letters, and identifying them. Each friend chose two letters, which very well may serve as the letters they help to create for our classroom alphabet!
Stay tuned!
Below are pictures from outdoor play. Friends explored and mixed up creations in the pond, mud kitchen, sandbox, and could be seen running all throughout the playground.
Inside, a friend presented their collage to the group.
Quick choice time before lunch! Friends could not wait to get their hands on the fresh batch of playdough!
Ask your Sparrow if they can make the sound of the letter L.
