Students will continue to participate in activities that promote phonemic awareness. We will continue to recite rhyming words, isolate beginning and ending sounds, and combine two small words to create compound words. We will continue to review letters s,a,t,i,p,n,ck,e and the following sight words-at, and I. Our new letters for this week are h & r. The new popcorn word is see. Students will also be engaged with I-Station this week, a data driven computer intervention.
1st Grade
Students have been progressing well with letter-keyword-sound relationships of letters introduced thus far. This week's focus will be on letters p, j, v, w, z, qu, y, x. I will review short vowel sounds and reinforce letter formation. A unit test will be administered on Friday. The students will be asked to place letters in alphabetical order and will need to identify and write letters to match their sounds.
2nd Grade
This week students will continue to hear and discuss good writing. They will listen to another story from Donald Crews and one from Cynthia Rylant to use as models for their own writing. They will make lists to generate writing ideas and they will write about something that happened to them. They will learn how to use descriptive language to enhance their writing and they will be asked to focus on capitalizing first letters of sentences and using ending punctuation.
