Word Work

Throughout the week our schedule switches between reading workshop and word work. This morning was word work. During word work friends transition between four stations that currently are focusing on the letters and sounds of the alphabet. The first station involved friends solving puzzles and then putting them in alphabetical order. The second station, with Mrs. Keller, had friends identifying a lowercase letter, making the sound of the letter and then finding the uppercase version on the sun rug.


The third station today was reading, with Mrs. Bahr, out of our book boxes. The fourth station, with me, was focusing on introducing a new lowercase letter - i.



Above our classroom library are all of the other letters I have introduced so far... b, f, t, m and n. You may hear friends say the letter name, then the name of the picture and then the sound for example. 
b - bat - /b/  or i - itch - /i/  or f - fun - /f/ 
We do this to help friends remember and associate the letter and sound with an image.


You may also hear friends talk about the different lines on the page. First there is the sky line, then the plane line, next is the grass line and finally (my favorite) is the worm line. Naming the lines helps friends learn how to write the letters with fluency.

Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous sunny day!

I wish you well!
Love, 
Miss Brehm

Day TWO!

Day two is truly wonderful! We have so much fun together! Today we started working on our first classroom book and WOW it's going to be AMAZING! So many beautiful illustrators and creative thinkers in this class. Also today we completed our first of many Math and Writing rotations. It's been a busy busy busy day! Now to the fun stuff. It's always said that pictures speak much louder than words and I agree 100%. So here are the pictures from our magnificent day TWO! Right after lunch we went outside to explore our school garden with Nurse Amy! We picked marigold seeds which we are going to plant in our classroom! Check out all the fun we had!  It was a busy day indeed, but so much fun! I can't wait for tomorrow! Love, Miss Brehm

In honor of my momma, Katrina Brehm, I am running a marathon. Crazy, I know. I got it from her. In Mom’s memory, my goal is to raise enough money to send a child to @camptakumta ! Please take a moment to check out the link in my bio and if you’re able to, give any amount. Thank you ☀️
