Just wanted to share some of the fun my little friends will be doing in ELA centers this week...
We always start a new thematic unit by sorting "thematic" words by syllables and sounds (beginning sounds and vowel sounds). Introducing the words helps develop many of my language students' vocabulary and oral language skills.
In the pocket chart the students will be practicing 1-1 correspondence, finding rhyming and finding high frequency words they know with this Cinco de Mayo poem. The poems and songs in the pocket chart are always a favorite, for both the kids and me. (I love hearing them sing and read-- of course they mimic how I do it, which is always entertaining!)
At the writing center my little friends will be working on unscrambling the sentences!
You know those standards that are "hard" to get to, like CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.K.1b Use frequently occurring nouns and verbs. Well, this is one skill that we will be working on this week!
My class' favorite center is probably Read Around the Room. The kids will be on a quest this week to find the blends on the flags.
We still need lots of practice on rhyming and reading CVC words. Hopefully the Chip & Dip Rhyme Time will do the trick!
We will be making new words from the word CELEBRATING. I am amazed at how the kids have become so creative and independent at this activity!
This week we will be reading lots of Cinco de Mayo nonfiction readers, but these are a few of my favorite picture book read alouds.
If you are interested in any of these activities, you can find them and many more in this unit:

Now I see you do have an instagram! I am home with my sick little miss, so maybe that needs to be my goal to set up a class instagram!
