We did several math activities, but I forgot the pictures. Go figure!
I created a BIG number line on the floor and kids got to act out some addition. Yep, you are right. Easy. We are going to have to increase the difficulty of our math. They did not forget much over the summer.
One lesson that I thought would go fast actually went slow. We cut and made a little book about ourselves. The part that I liked is that they had a chance to talk a little. The part that was tricky is that some talked more than worked.
The lesson on reading included Mrs. A., a pretend dumbbell and the door. I will explain it in person at Parent Information Night (Thursday, August 27). The kids seemed to get it and after more days of practice will be pros I'm sure. :) No photos, we were too busy reading.
A routine that we are working on is Read to Self. We created a chart together that lists expected behaviors and today they were able to read independently for 5 minutes. Super excited!!! The way to become a better reader is to READ. At this point in the year reading may be: 1. read the words, 2. "read" the pictures (tell the story) or 3. retell the story. All are acceptable, and we will move into more reading the words as we get better at reading words.
Have a great evening!
