For
a phonics lesson, Melissa Hathaway has children categorize clip art
by initial consonant sounds.
Angie Paris uses
familiar poems and songs like the ABC song, nursery rhymes, and the
birthday song for shared reading. These can then be put in poetry
books for independent reading.
This is an interactive writing from Dianne Lundhagen's class of
another example of working on a focus letter. Children brainstormed
words starting with the letter and took part in writing the words.
Courtney Niemeyer stores her sentence strip centers in folders.
The strips are placed in folders with a completed version on the cover.
This gives children a reference as they rebuild the poems in the pocket
chart.
