Long Vowel Practice
- This week we are focusing on "long vowel a & i" words with silent e, such as plate, name, make, shape, snake, wipe, spike, smile, and shine. We have a special way to mark up these words by slashing the e and writing v-e under the word. Say the long vowel, silent e words out loud and see if your child can write them and mark up the words.
- Our sight words last week were: away, some, now, today, way, why. This week's words are: green, grow, pretty, should, together, water.
- Our stories this week are Ready, Set, Grow! and Time to Plant! which are plays. Characters in the story read at different times and we will practice switching roles as we read these stories this week.
- In math, we began Topic 6: Represent and Interpret Data. We will practice collecting data and create tally charts, picture graphs, and bar graphs.
- This Wednesday, December 13th at 9:15 AM is our kindergarten & first grade singing concert. Be sure to arrive early to get a great seat! We will be on the far right side of the stage, so I would suggest sitting on the far left of the audience to see us sing.
- Next Wednesday, December 20th is Pajama and Polar Express Day! Your child can wear pajamas, slippers, and robes to school! They can bring a small blanket if they wish. We will have indoor recess to stay warm, but I still recommend packing slippers in book bags and wearing tennis shoes to and from school.
