     This is our last five-day school week. In order to prevent my beginning-of-the-year panic next Fall- What do we do all day?- Here's a quick Week in the Life series.

Monday!

     We start with Yellow Book Phonics orally, whole group. A wonderful program that includes a daily alphabet activity, rhyming, isolating beginning/ middle/ and ending sounds, putting phonemes together and breaking words into phonemes.

     The children practice read our weekly story at their seats, then we read it together at the carpet- one child is the expert reader for each page, then we read the page chorally.

     Afterward, I'll choose a partner for each child to partner read an earlier story. 

     We write our Spelling words in abc order in our planners.

     Sequencing cut-n-paste. Love this book!
