Movement

We have been learning about movement and directions.  During story time we have read several books about movement.  We have sung movement songs, rolled dice and then done a movement that many times, sorted movements as big or small.  Students have really enjoyed this subject matter.  We have also been learning about the letters H and J which have lead to some interesting talks about hopping and jumping.  Today we thought about animals that hop or jump.  Next I showed students pictures of animals that hop or jump on the Smart board and we sounded out the words and I erased the white over the letters to expose the word.  Below is a picture of my smart notebook page....
