Due to a field trip this week and an early dismissal, I will only meet with the Kindergarten students three times this week. They will be using the computer program Imagination Station and will continue to work on identifying letters and recognizing their sounds. Students should know the following letters s, a, t, i, p, c,k, h, m, d and the following popcorn words, I, am, at, & see.
1st Grade
We are on our second week of Unit 2. We are still working on the following concepts:
- Blending and reading three-sound short vowel words
- Segmenting and spelling three-sound short vowel words
- Phonemic Awareness skills: sound manipulation (beginning, middle, and ending sounds)
- Sentence dictation procedures: capitalization, period, word spacing
- Sentence proofreading
- Trick words: the, of, and
An assessment will be administered on Friday. This test will check student's understanding of letter-sounds, spelling three letter words (cvc), spelling trick words, and sounding out words to write sentences.
2nd Grade
Students did a great job writing descriptive stories about their costumes. This week students will continue to make lists to generate writing ideas and will continue to explore descriptive language. They will write stories about a friend, using proper sentence punctuation and will approximate the spelling of unfamiliar words. They will also be responsible for correctly spelling the trick words that have been added to our word wall.
