On Monday for Literacy, I taught children the letter Yy. We came up with words starting with Yy, traced the letter Yy, and read My Yy Book. Tuesday, I taught children how to write a personal narrative story. The story discussed what the children did for Thanksgiving. I showed them a story of my trip to Ohio. We added details, finger spaces, and sounded out our words. Children drew pictures to match their sentences. Wednesday, I went to observe a full-day Kindergarten class at Ponderosa Elementary School in Cherry Creek. The class was further ahead in literacy due to having a 90-block period specifically tailored to learning phonics and having a writing workshop daily. Our kindergarten class only has a 40-block time dedicated to literacy. We only do writing workshop once a week. It is amazing the difference between half day and full day kindergarten. Thursday, I stayed home sick. Friday, I taught the children the letter Zz. We came up with words starting with Zz, traced the letter Zz, and read My Zz Book.

Each child was able to come up and place a number in a number line on a piece of tape. The next day, we guessed what numbers could be if they were turned over on the number line. They used their x-ray vision to guess the numbers. They were able to explain in mathematics how they came up with their answer. I then taught them a game. The game was to mix up the numbers 1-10 and place them back in order. This game was introduced into work places. Children also were able to write their numbers in order 1-10 and then 1-20 on a whiteboard. I had them guess the number I was thinking. Clues that I gave them included the phrases: “It is greater than or it is less than that number.” Children practiced guessing by crossing out the numbers that were not part of my
