MONSTERS!

This week we learned all about monsters. We learned that monsters are just pretend and instead of scary they are pretty darn silly. 

Monday we read Go Away Big Green Monster and then created our own colorful monsters. We worked on creating sentences and color sight words by putting the words Go away big _______ monster in order then each student had to match the color word with the color they had colored their monster and trace the word before placing it in their sentence.

Tuesday we read Where the Wild Things Are and created ourselves as Max the King of the wild things then we transcribed what each student likes to do when they feel wild.

Wednesday we followed a Monster Glyph to create silly shape monsters and I am so impressed with how far all of my friends skills have come from where we started at the beginning of the year especially with cutting. It may seem like we do the same things over and over again in different forms sometimes, but repetition is a great way to make sure skill mastery is attained. 

Friday since we were running short on time we worked in our lowercase mouse 

m's

Once again this was a short week and if you read my little rant about loathing short weeks you can tell I wasn't happy that we didn't have another day to fit in more fun games. For jobs this week we made:

Monster M's

Worked on putting some Monster ABC's in order then feeding to our monsters

Measured different sized monsters placed the matching number with each monster, then worked on writing each number. 

Last but not least we counted monsters and matched the corresponding number in the box.

If you can't tell we have been working very hard on number recognition and counting and we are now moving on number writing. We will also be movig into more intensive letter writing activities with a little sight word action thrown in for good measure. 

Good times in 4k!!
