Scientists!
The students have been learning about changes in seasons! So as "Scientist" we went outside to make some observations in our science journals! We also brought bags to colelct artifacts that may help us to understand the change in season. The students really took on the role of the scientist and could be found collecting fallen leaves, pinecones etc. Also many were making sketchs and labelling in their science journals. We returned to the classroom to discuss their findings. We will continue to explore cylces for the next month.
Phonological Awareness-Rhyme Recognition
This is the time of year that I look ahead at the phonological awareness skills sequence to carefully plan my instruction. When I look at what I assess in my first quarter, I am looking to see which of my students can recognize rhyme. We will then move on to completing rhymes, then producing rhymes.
Why is phonological awareness important?
Research states there is a high correlation between phonological awareness and later success in reading and spelling. Students must be able to hear and manipulate sounds before they can relate them to print... so I gotta make sure my kiddos can develop this important skill.
Mrs. Lucier always comes up with fun ways to teach new skills. Below you will find pictures of students practicing their rhyming skills!

On Thursday Oct 27 our class travelled to Auto Motion for a ROAD TRIP! It was awesome! The students were able to sit in a smart car, look under the hood of a car, and watch them detail a car in the garage! Thanks again to Gil at auto motion for taking them time to show our students around!
