During computer lab today we learned two very important keys on the key board:  shift and back space
The children practiced typing their names beginning with an uppercase letter.
It is important that every child learn the letters in their name.  
The created a license plate with their name on it!

This week we are learning how to read and spell the color word blue.
We will be doing many things this week with this color word and many others.
Stay tuned!

Today's read aloud was Pete The Cat Rocking In My School Shoes!

We worked on what the author and illustrator do, the characters, and retelling the main events from the story.  
We are encouraging active listening while reading is happening. 
After you read with your child at home stop and ask about the events from the story.  This is a great way to see if your child is listening and most importantly understanding what is being read. 
The children worked on creating a color shoes book that they will read during independent reading time, and they worked on color puzzles.  

Word Study is underway!  Today I modeled for the children how to do a sort.  Tomorrow the children will learn how to partner sort.  

REMINDERS: Please send in ear phones or ear buds in a Ziplock bag with their name on the outside. We are using computers and IPADS.  
We are all set on environmental print.  We don't need anymore at this time.
