Go Fish Blending

Today we continued to work on blending sounds together smoothly. Your child loved playing Go Fish to practice this very important skill for reading.

Writing Response Partner Read

On Friday, we started a new classroom routine...Response Reads.  Each week your child will create a piece of writing in response to our main selection book from Reading Street and share their work with a friend.  Everyone did an amazing job listening and sharing their writing.
 
 
 



 

Addition Bingo

Last week we started to play Addition Bingo to help learn how to join numbers together!  I hope your child enjoyed this new math game.
 
 





We Are Writers!

On Tuesday, we published our first piece of writing for our writing wall.  I was so impressed with all of my Clough Pike Authors! I loved how respectful everyone was while we took turns sharing our writing.




Classroom Rules and Rule Keepers!

During the first week, we discussed how to help others learn in the classroom.  We decided to make a list of classroom rules and promise to keep them throughout the year.  Lastly, we read David Goes To School! and talked about the rule breaking he was choosing to do.  The students created David from the book and changed his "rule breaking" action to a "rule following" choice.  Enjoy!











Happy Birthday...September!

Each month, I will post the birthday group picture that is displayed in the room.  Happy early and late birthday to these Friendly Friends. :)

Blog Is Up and Running! :)

I am so excited that all papers have been returned and that I can start posting pictures and information from the classroom on the blog.

I will also start to post Facebook messages and pictures to help your family and friends stay connected with your child's learning. 

Be sure to check your child's Take Home folder tomorrow for information about how to "friend" Mrs. Trent's Teaching Tales.
