My first post!

Welcome to my blog!

I'm so glad you're here!!

The time has come for me to try my hand at blogging.  I'm a bit of a self proclaimed techy-idiot, so this will be a challenge for me!

 

 

This week we are talking our our community.  It's the rural version of 'my neighborhood'.  Anyway, to kick it off, we brainstormed places we see/visit in our community.  I charted in for us using patterened writing (and including those great sightwords we know!).  The kiddos practiced the sight words on their small dry earase boards as I wrote them.  We were pressed for time, so my chart is not 'pretty', but it served the purpose.  I wrote each child's name next to their sentence because I wanted to remember who said what for our activity today. Then today I called each child to come up and 'touch read' their sentence.  They did a great job!  Then I produced..taaada...a picture of their place.  They were amazed!  Don't you just loovvve google image search?  How'd I ever get along without it?  But I digress.  Their job today was to go to their seat and write their sentence and use my picture as their illustration. 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of samples of their work.  Sorry for the one sideways, again, tech-idiot!  The top one says  I see a FedEx in my community.  The sideways one says I see a park in my community.

 

I'll post more later.  Thanks for reading my initial post.
