We've been reading Dr. Seuss books this week. Kylie brought in one that belonged to her mom when she was a little girl. Such an awesome thing to share! Thanks Kylie!!








Mia made an awesome connection during shared reading. She pointed out that there was a book in the Classroom library that had similar illustrations and characters. I asked her to go find it and we
Compared them. I was shocked that she made that connection. Both books were written and illustrated by Monica Wellington. Way to go!!!






During word work, this pair worked on synonyms.


Then wrote the pairs on the response sheet.





Ridge and Kayden worked on real and nonsense words.








Silly boy!!






Math was super fun today! We continued our focus on number bonds-part, part, whole. They had to come up with their own whole and find the 2 parts. They loved turning it into a person.










During writing, we worked on making an invitation. We worked on making the guest list 1st. I tied this in to our Dr. Seuss party on Friday. Fun, fun!! Awesome day!!



Caleb added Mia to our guest list. :) :)

Number Bonds

This past weekend was SO fun and I want to thank you for coming to RR! I loved seeing you outside of school!! There were 9 parents and 3 grandparents that came! That's huge and I genuinely appreciate it. Kylie won the gorgeous piece of art and Addison won the mani/pedi outing with me. So fun and I appreciate you all so much!




It's officially Dr. Seuss week!!








Lilly and Owen matched rhyming words and recorded on a response sheet.




Ridge worked on fluency during centers.




Jahanvi loved this task during work on writing. She went on a scavenger hunt.




She wrote the word then created a rhyming word too.




Awesome!




How sweet is this picture? You can see Caleb's love for reading.




Gracie sorted rhyming words. Way to go!
I introduced number bonds in math. This was a new concept where we focused on part, part, whole.




Addison caught on to this so fast!! The kids loved this lesson and I was SO proud listening to their strategies!!








Hard working kids!!








During Grammar we worked on proper nouns. Kayden and Matthew circled the the capital letters for the days and months.








Congrats Aiden for earning the music star award!!

First Ladies

We've learned all about our Presidents this week, so today we focused on the First Ladies.




We learned a lot about First Lady Michelle Obama and her initiatives.




My grandparents brought me this book from their trip to DC when I was a little girl, so it was perfect for this lesson.




Mia and Lilly did a fantastic job writing about Michelle Obama!








My kids love reading to their Pre-k Teacher. Gracie was beyond excited when she got to read to Ms. Edwards!!

Meet Bella the turquoise Bunny! She's our fabulous friend that helps me watch for positive behavior... kinda like Miss Twinkle did! :) :) She hops to a new spot each day.









We celebrated John David's birthday today!






Jahanvi did great fixing it up!







Mrs. Emily did a Dr. Seuss craft today. Thing 1 and Thing 2 turned out so cute! We're gearing up for Dr. Seuss' birthday next week. Who is ready for green eggs and ham?

This boy loves to read!!






We worked on subtraction using the number line. This is a great tool to help solve problems.
