We worked on two new sight words this week, LIKE and ME. Practice writing these words and recognizing them in books they may have at home. Next week we will add the words AND and GO.

If  your child has suddenly started  digging in couch cushions for lost change, let them!! The football team has started a penny war! There is a big reward to the class that can collect the most change. We will donate all the money collected to victims of the recent fires in our area.

Hey parents, we have added two new words to our list of sight words for the year. The words are IS  and SEE.   We’ve also started rhyming words with the word families _at , _an, and _am. Rhyming is a key element in learning how to read. We often say in our room, “If you can read CAT, then you can read RAT”, etc…It is very important that the kids can recognize sight words and parts of words.  This strategy will  help them figure out unknown words.  If you would like a set of sight words, message me. I usually don’t send any home unless I think your child needs the extra practice.

We have added two new words to our list of sight words we are working on this year, am and the. Practice reading and writing these words or even identifying them in books at home.  In writing time today we practiced writing the sentence “I am ____________ “(our names inserted). They are doing a fantastic job with penmanship and spacing. We’ve also focused on the letters A and B and how to correctly form these letters and the sounds they make.
