Good Morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend now that the weather is finally cooling down!
This week we will be focusing on the proper way to write the W and words that begin with the /w/ sound. We will also be doing some fun character counts activities since this is character counts week. We are also starting the -ig family. The words that will be on the spelling test are, pig, fig, big, wig, dig. Please make sure you are helping your students sound these words out so everyone can get 100% on their spelling test.
We will also be introducing the sight words "look" and "it". Everyone is doing a great job with their sight words. I hope they have all sung you the sight word chant!
Remember, there is no school this Thursday, November 11th, due to Veteran's Day. This Wednesday, November 10th, PTO is putting on a bingo night. I hope everyone can make it!
In small group, we are focusing on segmenting words. The dibels test is coming up again at the beginning of December and everyone needs to be able to segment a word. For example, if you say "cat", students should be able to sound out the word by saying /c/-/a/-/t/. We have been hoping the words out in class to show them the motions of each sound. Students will have to sound out real words as well as nonsense words such as "foz". With your help at home, I know everyone will do a great job!
Next Monday, 11/15, I will be sending home an at home project for your whole family to work on. Everyone will be getting a turkey to decorate however they would like with whatever they would like. You can use beans, feathers, cereal, markers, glitter, pom poms, crayons, rice etc. Basically anything you want! We will be hanging them up in the classroom for everyone to enjoy. This is always my favorite project of the year since it is so fun to see what each family can come up with.
I hope everyone has a great week! If you have any questions, please email me.
