Phonics/Spelling Words: /ar/ words…”The Bossy R!” Your kids will learn that when a & r are together, the R makes the A say his NAME! I hope this will help you help your child with their words!
far, farm, arm, art, part, park, chin, such, fly, watch TEST IS FRIDAY!
High Frequency Words—words your child needs to recognize, read, and use in a sentence. We will go over these words daily.
again, feel, house, know, loud, say, Mrs., put
Vocabulary: These are words we will learn about through our Storytown Reading program. Remember…your child does not have to read or spell these words. We will be discussing their meaning!
Words for this week are: approached, energetic, pace, blunder, reassure, excel
Sight Words: NEW TEST DATE—WEDNESDAY! Alyssa’s mom has volunteered to test sight words for me and Wednesday is the day that works for her. Most of you liked the way Mrs. Lee tested sight words so we will continue that way. If your child is having trouble with sight words, I will limit their focus to a column or just a few at a time. This will build their confidence and help them master more words. The goal is independent reading!
Math: Shape Attributes—all students know their two-dimensional shapes, but we will be working with them in different ways. We will:
1. Explain how the shapes are alike and different.
2. Recognize shapes are the same even if they are in a different position.
3. Vocabulary we will learn that relates to shapes: flip, slide, turn, rotate
Writing: I am constantly reminding the class that they need to TRY to spell words. They do not have to spell words correctly, but sound them out and write what they hear. Conventional spelling will happen later. Encourage your child to ATTEMPT to write. We will also be working on writing more than one sentence about a topic.
Theme: Nutrition and Food Groups continue this week. If you get the Tuscaloosa News, please send inserts from grocery stores to school. We will use the pictures of food for a class project.
