This week in Mrs. Kirchner's class

This week we started a new spelling list. We will be working with words with a short "i" sound.
We took our pre-test today in class and reviewed them together on the board.

1) pin
2) win
3) hit
4) sit
5) miss
6) kiss
7) sad
8) nap
9) be
10) run

We will continue to work on syllables this week. We will play a "syllable sort" activity on the board. Students will take turns reading a word, and then sticking in under 1, 2, or 3 to determine the number of syllables the word has. We will then clap it out together to check the answer. Students will copy the chart we create together into their reading notebooks.
Throughout the week, we will use this chart to review and complete different activities.

In Social Studies, we talked about what it means to be a good citizen. We shared ideas of how we can be a good citizen and drew examples. Later, we watched a video and thought about what it means to be a good friend and how we can help others. We shared our ideas out on the rug.

We will continue to work on writing full sentences. We will practice using a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence and punctuation at the end. We will be writing our own sentences and cutting and pasting words to complete incomplete sentences.

It will be a fun and busy week! :)
