Root words and word endings

I am learning to identify root words and their different endings. I had to circle the ending of the words. The ending of “looking” is “ing”. Other word endings I can see in my readers are “ed”, “er” and “s”. I am proud of how I circled the endings of the words. It is tricky to circle the ending and not the other letters.

Alina: This is tricky for me to circle the word endings. Mrs Bovill had to help me.

Ordering numbers 1-20

I am learning to order numbers from smallest to biggest in the range of 1-20. I had to put the numbers in the caterpillar body in the right order. It can be tricky putting the numbers together in the right order because it is tricky to move the mouse on the laptop. I am proud that I can put them in the right order. 

I can make the first sound of new words!

I am learning to make the first sound of a new word. I can look at the first letter, make the sound and then look at the picture to give me a clue. It is tricky sometimes to make the sounds of all the letters. I am proud when I can read the new word. 

I can float!

I love floating in the school swimming pool!

Using our word of the week

I am learning to write the word ‘can’ in our stories. I wrote about learning. It can be tricky to sound out words and letters that have the same sounds like 'c' and 'k'. I am proud of thinking about my story myself. The next step for me might be to remember my finger spaces.

Counting and forming a set of objects

I am learning to count and form a set of objects from 1-13. First I chose a space background. Then I wrote the number and the numeral. Next was my favourite part - choosing the stickers. Mrs Bovill helped me type the sentence. Then I typed my name.

It was a little bit tricky to get the right number of stickers. I had to keep counting. It is tricky because sometimes I forget what way the number faces. I liked choosing the stickers for my poster.

Mrs Bovill is now going to print all of our wonderful posters so I can sort these and then use them to help me count down backwards like a rocket countdown.

I am now in Year 1!

I am in room 4 and my teacher is Mrs Bovill. I am looking forward to learning lots of new things this year.
