This week at a glance:

 

Handwriting-We are continuing to practice our writing every day.  Students are reminded to always use their best handwriting, put their first and last name on a their paper and leave a space between and use an uppercase letter to start both their first name and last name.  We will continue working with digraphs, blends and CVCe (magic e) words. We are learning the difference between short and long vowels.

 

 This week we will learn about what words start with c and k.  Our little rhyme will go as follows

The K takes the i and the e and the C take the other 3.

 

High Frequency Words-Students will be introduced to the sight words 'make' and "want" this week. This will be in their composition books and they should be practicing it daily.  Students should be able to recognize and read the words.  They do not need to know how to spell the word.  Students should be able to read all the words we have learned thus far.  We will have a sight word test on Friday.

Writing-This week we are continuing to focus on journal writing.  Students are incorporating the sight words and sounds they know to form words and learning how a sentence is formed.  We begin with an uppercase and end with punctuation leaving spaces between our words.  We are sounding out words as we write.  We are trying to use our best handwriting every time we write and are learning that our names only begin with an uppercase letter and the rest of the letters should be lowercase.  We use tapping out words to decode CVC words.  (Consonant-vowel-consonant)  Students are writing independently to prompts and a dictated sentences using the skills they have acquired.  We will continue to work on responding to a text while using our best handwritng.

 

 

 

Being a Reader-We are continuing to use the strategy turn and talk with your partner and make connections to the books we are listening too.  This week we will continue our unit of study on non-fiction texts.  We are learning about the features non-fictions text display.  (Table of Context, index, glossary)  This week students will listen to  I love Our Earth.  Students will make text-to-self connections and learn about adjectives to describe our Earth.  

 

Our new vocabulary words will be colorful, attend, magnify, experiment.

 

  

Small group reading will continue.  If your child brings home a book to read, please sign and date their reading log.  This should be a familiar reread.
