Our poem this week was, I'm a Little Snowman.  The students found the rhyming words, popcorn words, and made up actions.  We added the words: ran, into, for to our popcorn word wall.  During centers the students worked on activities to learn these new words and review all of the words we have had so far.  They also worked on CVC words and read with me.  The sounds we learned in Jolly Phonics were w & v.  This week's Making Meaning story was, Maisy's Pool.  The students practiced retelling this story.  The new vocabulary words were uncomfortable, comfortable, mend & wade.  In math we have been focusing on numbers 11-20.  Some of the activities we are doing is place value, greater than/less than, and using ten frames.  Have a great weekend!
