ReadingWe will continue to practice digraphs “ch’, “th”, “wh”, “ck”. We will be practicing all of our sight words, long and short vowels, and nonsense words. Please practice tapping out words at home. This helps with blending sounds together and taking them apart. We will do centers and our read alouds. It is very important that you are practicing sight words at home: and, a, at, an, am, all, are, as, ball, be, can, do, go, get, he, I, is, it, in, jump, love, like, look, little, me, my, no, on, out, girl, her, had, has, got, for, his, him, how, if.
Promotion to the First Grade requires students to be Reading on a Level D Independent with a 5 or higher on Comprehension. ***To be on track for promotion to First grade your child should be on a D-E Reading Level by May. *** Here are some simple questions you can ask your child before, during and after reading. “Can you make a prediction about what you will be reading about?” "What happened in the story?" “Where is this story taking place?” "Who are the main characters?" "What lesson did the author want to teach you?” “What was your favorite part of the story?” “Does this story remind you of anything?” |
MathWe are starting our new unit on teen numbers. We will be counting, adding more (10+__), and using manipulatives to help us. Please make sure you are completing Go Math pages at home and iReady Math.
