Kindergarten
The letters this week are z & w. The popcorn word is -a. Students will identify pairs of rhyming words from a series of three. They will listen and name the beginning and ending sounds in words. They will segment words by syllables and will blend them together. Students will also substitute and add phonemes to create new words: smallest- change small to tall, what is the word? (tallest)
1st Grade
Students will begin Unit 4 this week in Wilson Fundations. They will learn about the bonus letters f, l, & s. If a word has one vowel immediately followed by an f, l, or s at the end, that consonant is doubled. Such as puff, hill, and miss. The trick words for this week are you, we, and I. Students will continue to work on phonics skills as well as reading fluency and comprehension.
2nd Grade
Students will review their writing this week. They will choose one of their stories written thus far and will have an opportunity to revise and edit it using all the writing concepts they have learned up to this point. They will share their writing with their peers and will practice responding to their peers writing through prompts- I found out..... and I like your story because.... Students will use these prompts to help them stay focused within the writing process. Students will also think and talk about stories before they write. They will practice visualizing to get writing ideas, reread their writing and tell more, and they will check for sentence punctuation.
