A Week in ReviewA Week in ReviewA Week in ReviewA Week in Review

This week we read The Polar Express.

What did we do?

• Made a Polar Express glyph

• Colored pages where we had to follow the directions and

color things the correct colors; ie: sight words, rhyming,

and numbers.

• We made another class book: …could hear the bell

because…

• Played a sight word game: The sight words were on

ornaments cut out and in baggies. As a team (tables)

they had to put the words together and figure out what

sight word it was. They recorded it on a sheet of paper

with blank ornaments. IF they got the word correct, and

worked together as a team they got 2 points. They had

fun! Everyone was a winner!

• Friday we played on laptops- They went to starfall.com I

am so impressed with how easily it is for them to navigate

on the laptops!
