Kindergarten
This week students will work on identifying and reading sight words. They will list rhyming words; creating words that are in the following families: -ad, -ab, -am, -and, & -ast. They will be exposed to short -a words. Students will also listen and say individual sounds while sliding chips into Elkonin boxes. They will also have fun repeating words using a roller coaster action with their hands. This will help with becoming aware of vowel sounds in the middle of words.
First Grade
Students will identify sight words. They will segment and blend sounds as well as add and delete sounds in words. They will read words containing short and long vowels. They will also write and read long -o words.
Second Grade
Students will write in their journals and will edit their work focusing on proper writing conventions. They will create words containing digraphs: sh, th, wh, ch, & ck. Students will continue to work with prefixes and suffixes and learn how to break words apart by syllables to become fluent readers.
