Our letter of the week is "I." We used this opportunity to learn about one of my favorite things... ice cream! Talk about a high interest subject! Shared writing today involved writing two good sentences using our newest sight words (see, go). We illustrated our sentences with these colorful ice cream cones complete with glitter sprinkles.
We even read a non-fiction book about how ice cream is made, acting out each step along the way.
Then we wrote about it. Remember those higher order thinking questions we have been working on? Well, after reading the book, we went back to our seats and wrote about the sequence of events that lead to the ice cream. We even used sequencing words (first, next, last).
So if your child comes home asking for ice cream, now you know why. Maybe they will even tell you a little bit about how it is made. :)
Wonderful work today!
