Dear parents,
I hope everyone had a good weekend and a fun snow day!
Here is a look into our learning...
Sight Words:
Students did take their sight word test today over the words: the, a, can, no, what, for. I sent their test home with them today. I did not collect homework today. I will check weeks 1 and 2 of December on Friday of this week.
This week’s sight words are: we, is, my, out, big, and got
Writer’s Workshop:
Students are working on publishing one piece of writing that is special to them. The students are editing for capitals, spaces, spelling of sight words and punctuation. Students are also revising their work and trying to write stronger beginnings and endings. Students are very excited about their work and look forward to sharing it with their friends when it is complete. We will have a “Writing Celebration” next week to close our Narrative Writing Unit. When we return from the holiday break, we will start a new unit on writing ‘How To stories’.
Letter of the Day:
We will complete our 2nd rotation of the ‘Letter of the Day’ this week. This rotation was a short lesson on letter formation and letter sounds. Students have become much more independent with sound spelling words. Students are able to write their letters nicely with correct letter formation on the practice sheets I provide. However, students need to transfer their knowledge about proper letter formation during their daily writing activities. Please encourage your child to always use their best handwriting when they are writing.
