Springtime-What I'm Teaching This Week

Why is that spring break goes by in the flash of an eye?!Every other week of the year drags on but, this week...pooof it is Sunday! Luckily it is a super short week for us and, I did all my prepping before I left for break. On Monday, we have a PD day with time to work in our rooms and Friday is a holiday. Most of what I start this week will be carried over to the next week.

Since today is the first day of Spring that is our focus this week! We will be using sensory details to describe this season. Here are they books we will be reading.

 To start off we will be creating an anchor chart all about Spring. Here are some ideas I found on Pinterest

The first book we will be reading is

and then it's Spring

After the reading, the students will write about Spring using their 5 senses

Another few book that will help with sensory details and the changes or seasons are

                                              


We will be using the same 5 senses writing template to go along with these books.

In our centers this week, we are working on ABC order, building sentences, digraphs, sequencing just to name a few skills ;)
  For ABC order, I am taking my write the room cards and having students put them in order

With my sentence scrambles, I am going to have the students assemble the cards to make the sentences then, as a check-up, I am using the same sentences printables and having the students glue the words in order in their interactive notebooks

This week our spelling words will be focusing on beginning and ending digraphs. I created these clip cards for them to use during center time to help reinforce the words,

I am going to use the square ones for certain students and the round ones below will be for other students. 

To continue building our comprehension and writing skills I made these Springtime Sequencing  cards and printables.
