September 27th - 30th

 

This week the students worked on creating words using the Montessori movable alphabet. We think of a word that begins with a certain letter and write it phonetically.  Next, the students write the word in their journal and create a picture to go with it.  Soon we will start writing phonetic sentences.  This week our words of the week were:  see, the.  The letter of the week was:  B.  

The students really enjoy using the movable alphabet as a center in the classroom.  A list of fall words are displayed so the students can read and copy the words with the materials.

The students are working hard with phonics!

Writing the #3!!
