  • Silly Sally Went to Town…

    We began reading our big book, Silly Sally, this week during our shared reading time.  We will continue this book through next week.  The students made their own books during reading groups this week called, Silly Town.  We will be finishing those by the end of next week.  The focus sight word this week, continues to be “is.”  I am so proud of all the students, they are working hard at home and at school on the sight words and it is paying off big time!  They are recognizing the words more quickly every day.  Way to go everyone!

  • Reading Groups…Building a Sentence

    We reread our book, Making Bubbles today and became the author to create a new sentence to add to the book.  We were blowing bubbles outside at recess so decided to add ourselves to the book (WE ARE BLOWING BUBBLES.)  We cut the sentence apart and took turns recognizing the words and putting the sentence back together.  Nice work everyone!
