Kindergarten
The team met last week to analyze the data collected during benchmarking. Intervention groups have been formed. AimsWeb reports will be given to parents at conferences. This will give teachers the opportunity to explain the reports. I am looking forward to working with my new groups this week. I will be focusing on letter sound knowledge as well as reinforcing popcorn words.
1st Grade Push-In
I will continue to focus on sight words. Thank you for helping your child return their sight word bag to school every week. Beginning this week, I am asking for the bag to be returned every day. You will begin to see card packs titled "Words I Know" & "Words I am Learning". Please help your child engage in the suggested activities with the words they are learning. Also please continue to ask your child to read and recognize the words they know to assure that they continue to have those words mastered.
1st Grade LLI
Students will continue to engage with leveled books. They will practice voice-print matching while using various strategies to read unknown words. They will recognize and write some high frequency words. They will write simple sentences while using space between words and capitalizing the first word in a sentence. Students will also make predictions and inferences using information from the pictures.
2nd Grade Push-In
I will focus on specific phonics skills such as long o, u & e, 2 sounds for C and consonant clusters. I will reinforce vocabulary from the weekly story and will engage the students in activities to strengthen their comprehension skills.
2nd Grade LLI
Student will continue to engage with leveled text. He will use multiple strategies to solve unknown words. He will use "Flip Flop Froggy" to practice identifying the proper vowel sound in a word. Try the short vowel sound, if it doesn't sound right flip it to the long vowel sound. He will also say words slowly to identify sounds and write the letters that represent them.
