3 Star Work!
With first grade right around the corner and spring fever in full swing, I am encouraging the students to continue to put forth their best effort towards their classwork. One way I am increasing student motivation is by awarding not 1, not 2, but THREE stars on work that goes above and beyond! Three star work must be complete, neat (to the best of the child's abilities) and include at least 5 colors. I'm excited to see that many students are already embracing the challenge of producing 3 star work, and I hope this continues to be a positive incentive in our classroom!
Markers
Thank you SO much to the families who donated new markers to our classroom. The children were thrilled to have some fresh supplies to use, and their work has become much more colorful as a result! Thank you so much again for your kindness and generosity. It is greatly appreciated!
Library Tomorrow!
A friendly reminder that our class visits the library/media center on Mondays. Please have your child return their book so that they are able to select a new one. Please also return your child's clean quiet time towel as well. Thanks so much for all of your help! :)

Curriculum Update
Reader's Workshop
Last week in Reader's Workshop we continued to strengthen our reading muscles as we practiced using super sound and picture power to read new and more challenging texts. We also had a special guest, Mrs. Fuchanio, who taught us not to be tricked by sight words that might have an inflected ending (i.e. seeing, looked). Although these words might look a little different, the sight words we've practiced are still there!
Boy she sure does look familiar...
Fundations
In Fundations we continue to practice reading consonant, vowel, consonant, or CVC words. We also began learning about the diagraphs sh, th, ch, wh, and ck, and discussed the digraphs are two letters that make one new sound.
Math
Last week we revisited our teen numbers and practiced making these numbers with base ten blocks!
It was wonderful to see so much blue in our classroom as we recognized Autism Awareness and Acceptance day on Friday and we couldn't have been more excited to light it up blue!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
