Today we created our own patterns by using sorting tools. Most of the children used patterns based on color. We also made books about the number six. The class enjoyed a lesson about finding books that are "just right" for them. I modeled wearing all sorts of shoes that were not just right and then found the "perfect" pair of shoes for me. Then we read a "just right" book for the class called "Farm Animals." Everyone enjoyed knowing these books would be going into our Read to Self Book Bags.
Please be sure to send in a few books from home that are "just right" for your child as we learn how to read to ourselves.
We had great fun reinforcing the Ll sound as we squeezed lemons to make "invisible ink" to write our letter Ll. Some words to describe the lemons were "sour," "bumpy," and "slimy." Our invisible ink was then warmed with heat from a toaster and the Ll's made another appearance.
We played Whack A Word with our giant fly swatters today. We used our October words for "whacking." Those words are: the, and, a, I, go, like and to. It was a fun day!
