Imagine Learning
Yesterday and today the children spent time on a wonderful new program called IMAGINE LEARNING!
This is a self- paced program that meets the children where they are in all components of language arts.
Reading, retelling, phonics, word study!
At this time we can't access it from home. However, if you would like to learn more about the program please visit and follow on twitter.

Your child came home with name writing practice today. Please use this as a guide when working with your child.
Today we read a story called I Love School.
Prior to reading we activated our schema. We asked ourselves-"What do I already know about school." We also discussed the characters, setting, author, and illustrator as we read. We learned that setting change in stories. When we remember a story and tell it in our own words we are retelling. As you are reading with your child encourage activating schema, discuss the characters, setting, and events. Ask- "does this remind you of something in your life?" When we make connections, we remember what we read. Stay tuned for a video of our song!

Learning, learning, yes we are!
PETE THE CAT! Wow has he been a hit!
The children have been working on retelling the characters, events, and the setting of the story after each read.
We will be assessing the children on the stories we read.
Each day we are journal writing. I will be sending home the September journals soon for you to see. Each day the children write their code date, draw a pictures, and label their pictures using letters, words, or sentences.
Ask your child what he/she wrote about today in their journal.
During our math time the children are working on recognizing numerals 0-10. For those who already know these we are working on 11-20 (and beyond). Put numbers in random order and have the child tell you it's name. Have them count a set of objects to match the number.
Each day we work on a pattern during calendar time. We are learning ABAB, AAB, AABB, and some of my friends are creating more challenging patterns.
WORD STUDY IS UNDERWAY!
We have successfully learned how to do a partner sort, a speed sort, and coming tomorrow...a BLIND SORT!

Marvelous Monday!
Did you know that today is Constitution Day?
We shared that the Constitution is much like the rules in our classroom. We follow the in order to have a successful day.
Some of you may remember this oldie but goodie!

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.

Thursday homework your child will for the second week complete a writing sort for word study homework. Please choose 6-10 of their words/picture cards to write.
First your child will set up their paper with their header letters. Then you will call out the words/picture cards without showing them and they will write the correct word spelling it the best that they can under the correct header. Please don't help them with the spelling. We are encouraging sounding out.
If you see that your child is having difficultly with the feature IE writes that under wh that is your key to see that they need to review some more. :)
