We have begun planning our next Writer's Workshop book. The girls will be writing a How-To non-fiction book using the transition words that they were introduced to today. We sorted the different transition words (first, after that, etc) according to where we would use them in a story. Then we used these words to help us arrange the steps of how the girls get ready for lunch.
Next, the girls listened to Tell Me About Your Day Today by our Author of the Month (Mem Fox) and sequenced the events of the story using transition words.
Finally, the girls used the Popplet Lite app to plan out the steps of how to build a snowman.
In math, we have been working on place value using base 10 blocks. The girls have done an excellent job of grasping this concept and have even graduated to using the hundreds blocks.Watch out first grade!
The girls are loving our Mystery Reader time--thanks so much to all of the parents for taking time out of your busy day to read to the girls.
