Starfall Reading, Games, Activities,
Learning and Fun! The grade ones have been enjoying the activities
and games on the Starfall website! There are so many excellent learning
experiences to explore! Click on the link and check it out with your
child tonight. Learning and practising but they won’t even know it’s
happening because they will be too busy having a blast!
Hey Grade 2s… check this out! This is
my newest find on the Internet! Or as my son says..."the newest breakthrough
in descriptive writing"! He should know... he came home all excited
and he couldn't wait to show it to me. Now I'm excited about sharing it
with you...here's the link… Make your own pic lit! We have been working on writing super
sentences in class! We have talked about
adjectives, nouns, and verbs. Most
recently we have been learning how adjectives and descriptive words help the
reader to visualise our writing. This
website is a wonderful way to learn new and exciting words and you can create
your own SUPER SENTENCE with just the click and drag of a mouse! Some of the pictures and words are above the
grade two grade level but there are many great ones to pick from!

New Favourite YouTube Videos!
I have posted a few new YouTube videos that we have been using in class. Most have been used for the grade ones but the twos have enjoyed reviewing their chunks of sound in the “Double Phonics Chant”. Both classes are encouraged to search for chunks of sound in the words they see every day!
You may even want to turn the reading of the sound chunks into a race! How fast can you read… an, et, and, in, it, ant? When you get really fast mix them around and try again! Grade twos should be using small chunks as well as the large chunks and spelling patterns we have learned, (i.e. ake, ent, ur, ir, ar, or, and, ite, etc…).
Don’t forget to search my old Blogger posts for more EXCELLENT videos and ideas!
Coming soon...pictures of our new language bulletin boards!
Grade One Language Stations
We have been very busy
learning the rules and routines and we have been working very hard!
Sometimes our work doesn’t even seem like work!
Our language and math stations are a great example of the work we can’t
wait to start! This picture shows one of
our grade one language stations. The
students are using magnets and sticky notes to create their own sentences using
the word wall words we have learned and sounding out (for the words they do not
know).
