Kindergarten
The letters for this week are -p & -j. Students will continue to be engaged in activities to reinforce letter knowledge, sound awareness, and word awareness.

Students completed Unit 8 and did well on their assessments. Students will begin Unit 9 this week. This Unit focuses on closed syllables. They will learn that closed syllables have only one vowel, the vowel is closed in by one or more consonants and the vowel sound is short. The trick words for this week are -our, -over, & -come. The vocabulary words for this week are -melt, -brush and act.

Students did a great job performing a reader's theater play for their peers. They also worked hard on creating fictional pieces for publishing. This week they will publish their writing into books.
