Work is Fun!

Good Afternoon!

Today was full of hard work, but boy, was it fun!  We even worked during snack this morning, spelling out our names with pretzels:

Again, we are working on two Mystery Letters each day.  Today we talked about B,b and D,d.  For each letter we sing a song, learn a movement that correlates the letter with an animal (today was bear and deer), and of course, decorate our letters!  Our letter B,b was covered with balloons:

For the letter D,d, we each received a page of dot stickers to put onto our papers!

We had SMART time again today.  Many students have expressed their enjoyment for this time of our day!  The learning taking place through the movement and repetition is phenomenal!

In math today we created number posters (pictures to come) with partners.  We will be finishing our number posters tomorrow :)

This afternoon we had a lesson on labeling.  We talked about what labeling is and why we label things.  We talked about how we label our lunch boxes so we know who they belong to.  We talked about how labels help readers learn more about a picture.  We labeled a picture of a teddy bear together.

Then, the fun part!  We labeled Mrs. Huettl!!!

Each of us received two post it notes to walk around and label things in our classroom.  We wrote down the sounds we heard, and if that meant just the beginning sound, that was fantastic!!!

Tomorrow we will start labeling the pictures in our journals!!

Today was so enjoyable:)  Looking forward to a great end to our week tomorrow!

Love,
Mrs. Huettl
