Do You Know Words in the “ug” Word Family?
Mrs. Buck's update for February 22nd 2010
We had a super day today! Our Question of the Day today was: Have you ever met a librarian? (Ten of us have; Six of us have not.) After our morning meeting and changing jobs, we worked with a bar graph in math. We each colored a square Post-It our favorite color and then added it to our chart. Blue is the most popular color by far! Twelve students had blue as their favorite color! There was a four way tie between red, orange, purple, and pink. Each of those had one vote. Recess and snack followed. We then read a book about librarians and met our new word family: the “ug” family. After working with the short “u” sound in our phonics books, we practiced our new weekly poem: Some One. After recess and lunch, we had our read-aloud and then Quiet Time. Spanish with Miss Maureen was a blast! Our journal topic today was: If I could send anyone a letter, I would choose… At the end of the day, we worked with our “at” word family to assemble a cute little cat with wordy whiskers.
