Terrific Tuesday! We had such a great day today! We started with math and worked on counting up to 8 in different ways, how to use a math counting pathway. Then we interviewed our Happy Camper of the Day (AM= Aiden) (PM=Hollyn). We did the Daily News, our camper's name book, and Calendar. We had a nice short recess outside. During reading groups today, we worked on blending sounds together, reviewed last weeks letter Mm and this weeks letter, Aa. Our sight word for this week is "the." We also learned the sight word "am" today! We finished up with writing something special for Donuts with Dads day, next Thursday!
Just a reminder: Please remember to use those sight word flash cards, number cards, and letter cards on a weekly basis. If you child doesn't know all their letters, please start with teaching them their letters, then work on the sounds those letters make, then work on sight words. In the Open House folder, we gave you all the flash cards you need. Also, in the stapled packet, there is a special page that has all the sounds the letters make and the way we want students to say the sounds. This might sound easy, but please read this page first to make sure you know the way we would like them to say the sound. Thank you!! Our goal is for students to have mastered their Magic 5 by the end of April! For your child to master the Magic 5, they need to:
1) Read all their letters (capital and lowercase)
2) Know all the sounds the letters make
3) Read all 31 sight words
4) Read all the numbers from 0 to 31
5) Count to 100 without any errors
Thank you ahead of time for practicing this at home with your child! When you think your child is ready to test for a specific area of the Magic 5, send me an email and I will try to get to it that week!
Have a great evening!
~Love,
Mrs. Wittwer
