Literacy Work Stations!

This morning we started our winter Literacy Work Stations!  We were so excited to begin this set!  Throughout this set we are engaged in thinking about characters, number sequencing, creative expression through an online app titled "Sumo Paint", finding words with a variety of initial sounds, creating snowmen, using initial sounds to sort picture cards, writing star words, reading star words, taking turns playing games, patterning, using fluency and expression while reading familiar poems and big books and working with addition sentences!!  WOW!!!  We sure are hard at work with our collaborative partners!!  Make sure to ask your child which station he or she visited today!!
