I am so excited about our new unit! The kids LOVE learning about the different animals, plants, and food that are on and come from the farm. We have been reading a ton of books, learning all kinds of facts, using a search engine to find pictures (a bit of risky business, but an important skill), and having lots of discussion about everything farm! I am in the process of creating my unit, and adding things every day. I will post it soon (hopefully this weekend!) and hopefully others can enjoy it too. Our class has been mainly working on reading an emergent reader I created, and writing about what we have learned. I stepped it up a notch with the reader, eliminating the tracking dots, adding more text, and loading up on the vocabulary and high-frequency words. They are doing so well, I can't wait to make another one! I love the moments when you challenge them and they immediately rise to the occasion. This has definitely been a good week in teaching :)
