Every morning we have a quick ELA practice before our brain break. This week, we focused on relating letters to our ocean studies, like in the book: The Sea Mammal Alphabet Book (thanks, Hali for this special read aloud!). We also focused on "sky writing" letters from top to bottom. This is when we stand up and use our arms to make BIG letters in the air. We then moved from sky writing to practicing fine motor skills and writing them using our whiteboards. With each letter, we thought of words that begin with the sound! Lastly, we started a new style of guided reading as a class. Our first book exemplified how patterns in a text can help us beginning readers practice reading! We read the book together, then practiced "whisper reading" on our own.
