Second Week in March

Reading: Word Work

The children like using the smelly markers (scented markers).

Lego fun at choice time.

 I am nt sure they will let me put away the magna tiles for awhile, 

still a favorite and they are building wonderful structures!

Writing Workshop: personal word wall as a tool.

They have had a word wall all along with the snap words we are studying, but on this day they added other words they know in a snap.
