I introduced Gracyn to our sight words this week. They are "but, all, what, and not." Today we focused on the sight word "not." Gracyn colored the word, traced the word, and wrote the word. Next we jumped into the blend "st". We brainstormed different words that started with the "st" sound and wrote them on the board. Gracyn thought of several including "stick, straw, stop, and star." Today is Groundhog Day! Gracyn predicted that the groundhog, Phil, would not see his shadow and that spring would come early. We watched the Groundhog Celebration in Pennsylvania! It was so exciting! The groundhog Phil didn't see his shadow! This means that spring is coming soon! Gracyn was correct! Today is also the 100th day of school. We counted out groups of 10 of various snacks, including goldfish, popcorn, pretzels, and chocolate chips. Then we counted by 10s to 100. The best part was eating them! We also wrote 100 words, wrote numbers 1-100, and what Gracyn would buy with $100. She said a doll house!
