We spent most of this week reviewing our first unit of letters, sounds and words. Several fun activities made the review so enjoyable the kids forgot we were learning! Oohs and aaahs were heard as the kids came back in the room from music and there were crayons posted all over the ceiling with our sight words on them. We turned off the lights and took turns finding words with a flashlight.
Another review hit was Super Speed reading! We took turns reading rows of words and then used dot markers to highlight all the words on our pages in different colors.
The last several years I have named Friday as "Friday Fun Day." We try to do fun things throughout the day with one special "fun day" activity that they have to earn during the week with good behavior as a class. These kids work HARD all week long. I expect a lot out of them, so on Fridays we relax a little and have a lot of fun!
Our fun today included our "mystery" reader and a special outdoor review game. We reviewed numbers 1-10, with each correct answer earning a toss of the beanbag at the target.
We ended our day with a few more review games and--gasp!--didn't even lay down for our rest time! We were too busy working on ordinal numbers! It was a super end to a super week! (And I'm ready for a nap and a couple days off to gear up for next week!)
