This week at a glance:

We will continuing practing tapping out and writing CVC words.  (consonant vowel consonant)

 

High Frequency Words-Students will be introduced to the sight words 'for' and 'saw' 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.

We are continuing to work on rhyming.  

 

We are using pictures, tapping out words and looking for chunks in words to help us decode unfamiliar words.

 

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 beginning to sound 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 will use tapping out words to decode CVC words.  (Consonant-vowel-consonant)  Students have begun writing independently to prompts and a dictated sentences using the skills they have acquired.  We will continue to work on punctuation this week.

 

 

Being a Reader-We are continuing to use the strategy turn and talk with your partner and making connections to the books we are listening too.  We learned how to retell a story in our own words using illustrations from the story.    It is important for students to know the characters, setting, problem and solution for the stories they listen to or read.  This week students will continue to practice visualization and learn about character traits.

 

 

This week students will listen to a book called, Red Sled.    Our new vocabulary words this week are evening, noiseless, grasp, observe
