This week in literacy, students got to watch me blend together apples, bananas, and strawberries. We talked about how blending sounds together make a word, just like blending fruit together makes a smoothie. We learned the letter Qq and Ww by tracing our letters, coming up with words that start with each letter, and by reading My Qq and Ww Book. I taught my Where Am I? lesson by teaching students to add details, use finger spaces, and sounding out words as they wrote their own farm story. On Friday, we made an origami barn for our farm unit. In math, students learned equations by building their 10-frame mat to 10 starting with a number such as 7. Students learned numbers and 10 frames bingo, students ordered themselves in a number line
