This week we learned our very first "popcorn" words! These words are words that are frequently found in books and may also be referred to as sight words. The kiddos know that they are no excuse words that we need to know "just like that!" At the beginning of each week the words start out as a popcorn kernel. Each time we practice the words, the kernel "heats up in our brains" and by the end of the week, we have hopes of making the seed "pop! into popcorn." Once we fill up our popcorn bucket with all our popcorn words, the kiddos receive a well deserved popcorn party for their hard work in solidifying the popcorn words into their reading repertoire!! Practice the popcorn words at home by pointing them out in the text you read, finding them around the house or getting your kiddo to write them down on a whiteboard or piece of paper. University of Brandon Bobcats Visit We had some very exciting guests come to our classroom today! 4 members of the Brandon University Bobcats Basketball team came during explore time to introduce themselves and get us excited about attending their game this Friday. The kiddos laughed, played and made new friends with them. We cannot wait to cheer them on as they take on the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack!!
