Pine Bush Elementary School hosted a winter AIS (Academic Intervention Services) evening with lots of fun activities, all promoting learning!

The reading activities focused on the phonics skills the students have been working on in their AIS groups. The youngest learners played matching games to focus on letter identification, while students in grades 1 through 5 focused on all areas of phonics, from cvc words (consonant-vowel-consonant) to multi-syllabic words with prefixes and suffixes. 

 

 

Students played winter games, like the UFLI roll and reads,  that included long vowel patterns and digraphs (words with a combination of two letters representing one sound).

Students of all ages were also able to work together with their families and friends to make as many words as they could with the letters in hot chocolate, snowflake and snowman.

 

 

All children participated in the estimation jar activity, where they were able to make a guess as to how many pieces of candy were in each jar.

There were a lot of fun math games as well:

Find the Missing Penguin (ordering numbers), Snowman Memory (match numbers 11-20 with ten frames), Make That Number (addition & subtraction within 20), Race to the Snowman (adding tens and ones), Number Line Race (two-digit addition), Penguin Multiplication, Multiplication Bingo and Fraction Number Line Race  (comparing fractions).

 

 

It was a really fun and education night for all involved! It was great to see so many families working together!
