Reading and Writing

Second semester is when we have a big push on reading and writing as well as math.  Here the kids are working at learning centers while I work with a small group.  The children have gotten much better at working together in small group.  

We review the rules each time:

• everyone needs to work
• be kind to one another
• be helpful without telling the answer
• stay focused
• help clean up

Putting the numbers in order is not easy for a 5 year old.

They are able to read books now!

Here they are matching pictures to words with "a" chunks like: -an, -at, -ap
