First off, a note from Mrs. J:
Earlier in the year, I sent home a letter telling you about the STEP podcasting course that I and several other High Bridge teachers are taking, and my assignment to create and share a podcast. Well, I have just completed the first episode of my first podcast, and it should be of great interest to you. "Demystifying Reading Instruction" is a podcast geared towards helping parents and others to teach their young child to read. At the top of this page (just above this paragraph) you will see a small player for Episode 1-Phonemic Awareness. When you can, please take a listen. I hope the show will be interesting as well as instructive. Thanks for all of your support, and stay tuned for more episodes!
We want to give props to our Hamburger reading group for doing a fantastic job last week on their play performance. They have been working on reading fluency (or using their "reading voice"). Each of the four students were given a part in the play and a short script. They were able practice independently and cooperatively for several days, and then they fluently read their parts in front of their classmates. Keep up the super reading, Hamburgers!
Our latest class movie is now out! Several weeks ago, we celebrated the 100th day of school. There were plenty of math and language arts activities centered around the number 100, and a delicious pizza party. Watch the video below to see some of the activities. The video is also up on our Video page of the site. Have a great week!
