Recap of Frogs and Peek at my Moon Week!

Hey friends!  We’re about to hop right on into April!  WAHOO!  This past Friday we had “free” day off since we decided to have little to NO snow this year!  This upcoming week will be a fun-filled one too!  We will be taking a field trip to the zoo and start our mini Spring break!  This past week was all about…FROGS!  We had a blast learning about those slimy little creatures….our takeaway- – frogs will lose their old skin, eat the old skin, and get new skin…YUCK!  My frog plans are directly below!


Here is a glimpse at our frog bubble chart!  We learned so much that I could barely get it all too fit!

our weekly vocabulary….

and our frogs can/have/are chart….

essential questions for the week….

The kiddos had fun with the poetry center this week too!  I’m guessing so much fun that we are now missing our 5th frog!

Along with our close read we also read several frog books during writing.  We then wrote informational frog booklets.  We have had the chance to write a lot of informational booklets this year, but these were the best by far!

Two things that made them awesome {according the the kids}…1) We added table of content pages to our book….SAY WHAT???  When I showed them the table of contents they cheered! 2)  We ALL learned how to draw a frog…yes even me!  We watched THIS directed drawing and they were illustrating frogs all.week.long.
Check them out…

 

In KinderPhonics we moved on to long vowel a and long i!

Download my Moon plans below…….

Have a great week!

"Writing has always been one of my favorite subjects to teach but for sure not the easiest! I mean when you start the year there is SO MUCH to learn… what a pencil is, how to hold a pencil, how to write with a pencil, what to write, how to stretch words, how to put words into sentences and it goes on from there! Sometimes teaching writing can be intimidating because there are SO many varying opinions. Should you give them a starter? Should you give them a sentence frame? Should they spell words phonetically. Should YOU spell words phonetically when modeling stories and so on! I finally realized that there is not ONE way to teach writing and if someone tells you that there is only ONE way to do it… then you smile, nod and close your door. All of our students will start at different levels and need different instruction. That brings me to writing instruction and curriculum."
