Week of October 31st - November 3rd



Kindergarten
I am excited to begin an intervention group with Kindergarten this week. I will be using Jolly Phonics to teach and reinforce letter knowledge and sounds.

1st Grade
It is nice to see how the first grade students are improving their reading skills during guided reading. We will continue to read leveled books, while identifying sight words and using strategies to decode unknown words.

LLI Intervention Group
Students have been working very hard on identifying sight words and finger pointing while reading. This week we will continue to work on sounding out words and reading already learned words quickly. We will also continue to discuss stories working on various comprehension skills as well as writing.

2nd Grade
Last week students worked very hard to compose descriptive stories. This week, students will continue to engage in Guided Reading. It is rewarding to see students enjoying reading as they improve their skills.

Wilson Intervention Group
Students will wrap up Unit 3 and will be taking an assessment on Tuesday. Unit 4 will focus on endings -s, -es, -ed, -ing, -est, -er, -ed, -d, & -t. Students will learn how to form plurals and words in the present and past tense. They will read a passage to practice fluent reading and they will make judgements and predictions to practice comprehension skills.


Happy Halloween!
