Scholastic is a great way to learn. We read all about rainbows and then used water colors to create our own rainbows.

Word Pattern Center
Above, you will see a student working at the word pattern center. They have to find all the words that end the same, put them on the tree, and then write the words. We also discussed how the words rhyme.
Student Friendly: I can write words with the short vowel sound. I can recognize words that rhyme.
Play-Doh Fun!
How fun does this look? We have been working hard all year to learn our sight words. We now have another fun way to practice, Play-Doh!
Student Friendly: I can identify my sight words.

All About Seeds
This week we are learning all about seeds. The kids had a lot of fun learning how to plant alfalfa. As soon as we finished planting, one of the kids asked why it hadn't grown yet. So cute!
Above and below, you will see the kids mixing up the dirt.
Everyone had a turn at watering our plant! I'm not sure what they liked more, actually watering or being able to use the squirt bottle.
We found a seed we had planted!
Center Work Using Cubes
I love letting my kids explore and learn on their own with little guidance from me. At one of my centers, I gave the students Unifix cubes and told them I was looking for something creative. They produced just that! I got everything from airplanes to them making different patterns. The picture above shows two of my students holding letters they made from the cubes. That is actually not the part I loved, they were actually creating sight words! I was so excited to see the center working together to produce something we have been working on. Unfortunately, they started to clean up before I could take a picture so all I could get were a few letters. This was a very proud teacher moment!
