Dr. Seuss, Seussy Synonyms, Contraction Surgery, Accelerated Reader

I am so sorry that it has been a while since I have posted! We have been very busy completing various learning activities and there is a lot to write about!

We have been learning about contractions. On Thursday, we selected a "patient" and cut apart the letters. We stitched them back together in order to make contractions. Some letters had to disappear while an apostrophe filled in the empty spaces.  I took some cute pictures of your little doctors with masks and gloves. Students were extremely excited about this activity and we will be doing it again in the near future!

 

Friday was Dr. Seuss Day! We have read several Dr. Seuss books and completed several activities related to his books. We completed rhyming activities, completing a "Seussy Synonyms" game, played "I Have, Who Has" with our sight words, and made Thing 1 and Thing 2 with our handprints! We topped the day off with a "Green Eggs and Ham" themed snack. It was quite a fun day.

This class has done an excellent job using the Accelerated Reader program! I am amazed with their accuracy in taking quizzes as well as their enthusiasm toward the program.  It is exciting to see their growth in the area of reading comprehension as they practice reading stories and answering questions related to the stories!
