Today we started our day with ignite and music. Once we came back to class, we had calendar and did a phonics activity using the 'th' blend. First we highlighted all the 'th' blends we saw in our 'th' story. Next we colored 'th' blend pictures in an illustration for our story. After this, we came to the carpet and clapped every time we heard a 'th' blend in our story. We went back to our desks and used our letter tiles to make as many 'th' words as possible. We recorder these on the whiteboard. While we were using the tiles, Miss Cox tested us on our 'th' recognition individually. Many students are having difficulties recognizing this blend in the middle or ending of words. Almost everyone is able to recognize it at the beginning of a word. We will continue to practice this skill. Check This 'th' activty out:
After our literacy activity, we went out for recess because our gym time today was moved to the afternoon to accommodate div.2 swimming. We came back in and did our basic facts quiz (sent home) and word work centers.
After lunch we did silent or partner reading and continued our 'th' hunt. We then learned how to change numbers by adding and removing tens or ones blocks. This skill is difficult for us, so we will have to revisit it.
To end our day we created jobs and resources to add to our Saskatoon 'Window' stay tuned for an updated picture of this. We then had phys-ed.
