Today we began with a horse coloring page. Then, we looked up horses on the internet, which Becca loved seeing the pictures of the horses. We discussed features of horses in the picture and where horses are located. After, Becca and I assembled an emergent reader called "On the Ranch." Becca colored the items in the story according to how the story read. For example, "I see a green cactus on the ranch." Becca colored the cactus green. "I see a yellow lasso on the ranch." Becca colored the lasso yellow. She would indicate what she saw in the picture such as a cactus and I would prompt her to tell me what color the cactus was. We read through this story a few times through. We completed an -et and -eg word sorter where Becca sorted pictures of these ending sounds in the correct column. I would ask Becca "Does jet have the -et sound or the -eg sound?" She responded with the correct ending sound with all eight pictures. I was very impressed! Becca and I went into the Art room and painted a picture of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Becca was very polite using the words "please" and "thank you" when choosing which color she wanted to paint with. In addition, she was very good about using one color paint at a time so that we did not mix the paint colors. Becca was in a crafty mood and wanted to continue working in the art room after our picture was completed. Therefore, Becca and I created a snake using a paint brush to add glue in the shape of a snake onto the construction paper. Then, we added gold glitter on top of glue. Once our snake was created we returned to the classroom and Becca traced the letter S on lined composition paper. I assisted Becca with hand over hand in order for her to practice tracing the letter S. We glued this onto our snake picture and hung this in Becca's room. Becca told me that our snake was a slithering snake and expressed the hish sound that a snake makes. Then, Becca watched a video on starfall.com on the letter S. In Becca's book bag is the picture frame that Becca painted and decorated the other day. I thought maybe when Becca is at Disney this weekend she can take a family photo and use that photo to put into her picture frame!
