Whoops...

For some reason the "photos" tab isn't cooperating with me and I really don't know how to make the adjustments to get everything back to normal, so a new tab at the top "Photos Take...2" has been created.
Check the "Photos Take...2" for new pictures of the kids at play from now until the end of the year!

Language Bin Pt. 2

Here we are creating those beautiful birds! Next round of bins...drawing and labeling people :)

After watching a video on Youtube (check out the "Extras" tab if you are curious) we used our preferred method for finding out how many syllables a word has. This particular station was sorting them into the proper column and, further down, the students sorted various pictures into hoops based on the number of syllables. This was definitely a fan favourite!

Identifying the number of syllables a word has has really supported the children in their writing. By just encouraging the students to identify the first syllable in a word and stretching it out (listening for sounds) and then going to the next syllable (and so on) has led to great success in getting their thinking down on paper.

And finally...Here we are so carefully listening for sounds, arranging the letters to spell our word and then transferring the word into writing.

Everybody loves using the large chart paper and it sure does encourage working together! At this station the children used books and sorted their reading into Letters/Words/Sentences.
