Students practiced identifying the position of letter sounds in 3-sound words. We talked about the different sounds the letter A makes, mainly focusing on the short and long sounds. Students did a little estimating and I tried to emphasize that getting the exact answer is not the point. I read a couple of Dr. Seuss books and then we watched a Dr. Seuss video. Students worked harder at learning centers today. I added a written piece to many of the centers, requiring students to turn in their work. In social studies we talked about ignoring distractions. We tried singing Row Row Row Your Boat in rounds to illustrate how hard it can be to tune out distractions but how important it is to pay attention to what you are doing. Read-a-thon minutes: 120.
