I was ready for spring about three snow days ago. While I do love a good day to snuggle with my boys, I would really love a full week where I could actually fit in everything I plan. I’m so sorry I haven’t been keeping up with photo and fun ideas, but when you miss two days a week, all you try to do is cram in everything and catch up.
Last week, I planned a ton of fun our Mitten Unit. And, of course…I got about half completed. Â My students loved the book and especially the retelling and Reader’s Theatre. Â But I was also amazed at how well they did when learning dictionary skills.
This week I’m hoping for lots of Valentine fun with no interruptions. Â This week we’ll be reading, Love, Splat! And I do love that Splat. Â I created a small shared reading unit for the book. Â Today we talked about predictions. Â After I reminded my kiddos of the importance of predicting, we read the first few pages and they made their predictions. Â There predictions were precious.
