Day 78 #Year31


I love directed drawing!
My students have a drawing journal,
but I haven't had a chance to lead the center before.
Today I did.
After interactive writing,

I followed up with directed drawing.
I don't focus on making it look like mine.
I focus on following step by step instruction.
Then we practiced the /r/ sound.
It drives me crazy when kids see Rr and say /er/.
If they are to learn the sound, they have to practice it orally.
This year's class is so different than last.
They are not as "literate" ready in letters, phonics, and words.
So I was thrilled to see that several kids took it upon themselves to write a whole sentence.
Even a simple sentence (using my interactive writing model) was exciting!
The model was inside the classroom, so I know they have the words I and see down!
Love when that happens!
December is the time for holiday projects.
I LOVE having Daniel and Bryce's class ornaments on our tree.
I am hoping these are the beginning of many years of annual ornaments.
