LET IT SNOW

The students in Ms. Shan's class went out to explore in the snow this past week. The students discovered footprints in the snow which sparked discussion on what types of things leave prints in the snow other than humans.

Students also collected ice and decided to leave some of the ice in the courtyard and put some ice in a container and leave it in the classroom. Students thought the ice in the courtyard would "fall to the ground" and the ic in the classroom will melt. On Monday, we will see if the studnets predictions are correct.

The second level has simple pattern stories to help children with beginning reading skills. Level 3 offers different types of texts for children to explore, and Level 4 is for children who can read independently. There is something for everyone on this website.

JOLLY PHONICS- Learning Letter Sounds

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djz82FBYiug



This is a collection of songs from the book Jolly Songs. There is also a CD which contains all the songs. The songs teach letter recognition, and letter sounds, and links them to an action to help children remember letter-sound associations. Although the letter Qq is missing, it is a fun and engaging way to learn letter sounds! Enjoy!
