Magnificent Monday

Our second week of school is off to a great start! We started our study of the five senses this week with our sense of sight. Each friend decorated their own pair of binoculars and we read the book "Baby Bear Baby Bear, What Do You See?". When we went outside for recess we brought our binoculars for a quick game of "I Spy".

We also began our Cindy Cupp reading program and OG phonics. We started with the letter "C". We drew a "C" in sand, formed it with a wiki stick, molded it out of play dough, and glued cotton balls to a big "C". We also started our first four sight words: Jack, Jilly, can, and play. If you have a chance, please go over the sight words and our new letter sound "C" says /k/ with your child.

Lastly, this afternoon we went to the media center for our orientation with Ms. Thomas. She showed us how to use a place holder stick and scan our book and card at checkout. We all got to check out a book today that we are going to keep at school to read throughout the week and hopefully with our 5th grade buddy readers.
