Kindergarten
Students are staying in their classroom this week and will be working on short vowels. My reading groups will meet again next week. The new Jolly Phonic letters for next week will be l & f. The new popcorn word will be- like.
1st Grade
Students completed the Unit 2 assessment in the Wilson Reading program. Unit 3 will last for three weeks and will focus on digraphs-letters that "stick together" such as wh, ch, sh, th, and ck. The following trick words will be taught throughout this unit: to, a, was, is, he, for, as, his, and has. We will continue to work on sentence dictation, segmenting, blending, and reading stories with fluency.
2nd Grade
Students did a nice job of writing stories about their friends. They are getting very good at adding adjectives to their writing and editing their writing. They are also becoming more comfortable with presenting their writing to their peers. This week, students will be staying in their classrooms for reading. Next weeks focus will be on writing silly stories, capitalizing proper nouns and approximating the spelling of unfamiliar words. At this point, students should be capitalizing the beginning of sentences as well as using proper end punctuation.
