Week of November 10th - 14th

Kindergarten
My students will identify letters by the sounds they make. They will identify rhyming words and they will become aware of changing words by adding or deleting beginning and ending sounds. They will also have an opportunity to listen to a book on Friday and "write" and draw their feelings about the story. Last Friday, they listened to I Went Walking by Sue Williams and wrote about what they saw when they went walking.

First Grade
My students will work on rhyming, onset fluency, blending, and identifying final and medial sounds. We will also work on our spelling words and sight words. On Friday, we will read a book and complete a journal assignment.

Second Grade
My students will learn about vowel teams and identify the sounds they make in words. They will continue to work with suffixes such as -ing, -ed, -es, -er, and -est. They will also continue to be "writers" while expressing their thoughts in their journals.

Some of my Second Grade students are "traveling" to the rainforest. We are integrating Science with Reading. We will be reading and researching about natural resources and discussing the importance of preserving our environment.
