We had a great trip to the fire station today. Students had a chance to get inside two trucks, try on a mask, and ask lots of questions of Chief Palmer. The children were very respectful.

This morning while we were brain storming questions for our trip someone noticed three words in a row that started with h-- how, and someone else noticed the word you three times on the paper. I told the class that this makes me so happy because it shows me they are paying attention to the print and really starting to be readers. We also had a fantastic session of writer's workshop with lots of good writing, and almost everyone wanting to share what they were writing about, which is so important for internalizing their own writing, and also for spreading ideas. When we first began only two or three children were interested in sharing, so this was very exciting!

I introduced the letters g and o today and sent home letter formation information in your child's red folder.

While trying to unlock the schedule posted on this blog I accidentally emailed it to everyone on my contact list. If you received it, it was not for any reason.
