Text To Self Connections and Counting On!

Today we read a beautiful story called Fireflies.

We worked on making Text To Self Connections as we read.

The children did an amazing job.  Many of them shared how they felt excited when they caught a firefly or a turtle before.

Some shared feeling of sadness just like the boy in the story when he had to set them free.

After reading and making connections whole group the children practiced making connections independently.

Each of them have a bag of Just Right Books that they chose based on their interests. 

Using sticky notes the children read their books and made connections. WOW! They were amazing!  Ask your child what connections he or she made at school today.

Making Just Right book choices!

The children had more practice today with counting on from a given number.  It is important that your child can identify their numbers 0-100.
