Kindergarten
The new letters for this week are -x & -q. The popcorn word is -friend. Students will continue to sing songs and learn actions to go along with letter sounds. Feel free to ask your child to sing some of the "Jolly Phonics" songs such as, "Snake is slowly slithering- /s//s//s//s//s/", etc. Students will also continue practicing tracking simple sentences by pointing to each word while reading sentences that contain some of the popcorn words learned thus far.
1st Grade
Students will be introduced to two new glued sounds this week: -am & -an. The new trick words are -from, -or, and -have. They will continue to practice tapping out words as an aid to spell words correctly. They will also work on identifying words by listening to individual sounds. Students will practice fluency and comprehension skills while reading a story called, Pam and Dan.
2nd Grade
Students will be participating in Reading & Writing Workshop this week. They will learn how to write a persuasive letter. They are going to be asked to persuade their parents to buy them a specific Christmas present and will need to provide support as to why they deserve the specific gift. Beware parents, their letters may be very convincing. :)
