This week we celebrated Willie's birthday!
During academic time we worked hard this week as usual! We focused on remember the sound that short e makes and we also talked about all the different spelling patterns that make the long ee sound. We are continuing our work on addition within 10 and trying to get solid on those combinations to ten. In reading we have been reading books about controlling our volume and not shouting out things while others are trying to learn by focusing on the author's message. In writing we are working on generating 3 or more sentences on the same topic. This is the foundation to writing a story that has a beginning, middle, and end. As students continue to be brave spellers they are segmenting and blending sounds they know to approach words that they don't know how to spell. On Tuesday/ Wed. of next week we will be doing our NWEA testing. This test will measure Literacy and Math.
At home this week try saying rhyming words to your student. Can they identify a rhyming word by listening? Can they make another rhyme (even if it's a nonsense word)? These are critical skills at the foundation of literacy education. Also, have your student listen to the better alphabet song as much as possible. It is linked in a post on the blog.
Thank you for working together with me to help support your child's education!
P.S. Thank you for the 'pop its' I look forward to using them during word work! Look for Oct. book order information coming home in folders next week.
Here we are hard at work this week:
