We began our first unit in Reading Street this week. Our first story was Iris and Walter, Two Good Friends. We worked on identifying characters and understanding the setting. The children practiced the companion poem everyday to work on fluency.
In math we begin each lesson with a Number Talk to help students strengthen their mental math skills. We completed the introductory unit in Ready Math this week in which we worked with the making 10 strategy.
Our first writing unit is narratives or small moment stories. It is always fun to read what experiences the children have had in their short lives.
Children were able to get onto the laptops a couple of times this week. After learning how to move around the room with the laptops and how to put them away, we had an opportunity to get onto a couple different sites. We are working toward independence logging in and finding specific programs. They will be comfortable with the process in no time.
