Week of May 11th - May 15th

Kindergarten
Students will continue to work on improving their phonemic awareness. They will rhyme, blend, segment, add/delete sounds in words, and they will identify final sounds. They will also participate in echo and choral reading of our poem of the week.

1st Grade
Students will use nonsense words to create rhymes. They will identify medial and final sounds. They will work with glued sounds, such as -ang, -ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, and unk. They will practice with sight words and will practice strategies during shared reading.

2nd Grade
Students will continue to work with blends, ending sounds, and word families. The focus this week will be on long -i, spelled igh and ie. They will work on fluency through repeated readings and they will focus on summarizing and paying attention to detail while reading stories.
