Room 17, Ms. Kristin

We packed A LOT into a short amount of time today! We started by writing the letter R r and drawing a rainbow in our journals. Then we had a 7th grader from OLP come over and read us a story about a caterpillar. He then helped the kids make bags to hold their Easter candy and he played a pirate game with them. We also worked on counting. We counted out chocolate chips to put on our caterpillar. They worked on gluing with "just a dot, not a lot". We then worked on our sight words and added is and it. Our rhyming word of the day is rug. Every kid thought of a rhyming word today! They are getting soooo good with it!! Then it was Easter Egg hunt time! Thanks to all the parents who came to watch! The kids talked about it the rest of the morning! 
Tomorrow is Mass. Please be here by 7:50.

Ahoy Maties! (hello friends as the pirate would say)...today we started working on the letter R. We cut out the Rs and glued them in the rain cloud. Our rhyming word of the day is rat. We also added "hi" to our sight word list. 
During large group, we worked on writing.  I would call out a letter and the kids went around the room with their clipboards and found words that began with the letter. We also talked about why a pirate might wear an eye patch and the kids wrote down their answers. It is hanging in the hallway. They ALL had different ideas on why a pirate wears one :) Tomorrow is the Easter Egg hunt. Please bring in a basket for them to use. Thanks!

That tricky leprechaun found his way to our school last night :) He made a mess in our room and played many tricks on us! He turned our sand green, our toilet water green, all the pencils, markers and crayons green, flipped things over, turned things upside down, spread green paper and green glitter all over and left a footprint paint trail....the kids and I were not happy with the mess he made! But we all had a blast! There are lots of pictures on the website!

This week we worked on the letter O and focused on sight words see, me, on, off. We are also working on numbers to 20. Next week we will talk about the letters P and Q. Our theme for the next 2 weeks will be pirates! We will continue to work on the sight words from this week along with a couple more! For the letter Q we are going to work on questions: identifying what a question is, how to write a question mark and the difference between a question and a statement.  We will also continue working on phone numbers. The kids are starting to remember them!
I can’t wait to see all our friends back next week!
Have a blessed and safe weekend!
