Be sure to see if your child is able to read these previously taught words. If they are having trouble, practicing at home would be a great idea. Here are some multi-sensory ways your children can practice their sight words. Try using any of these materials to practice spelling the sight words
- salt
- shaving cream
- play dough
- markers
- smelly markers
- sand
- oil pastels
- letter stamps or tiles
- chalk
- dry erase markers
Here are some other ways children can practice their words.
- Try having them write a sentence with a popcorn word in it.
- Have them finger spell the popcorn word
- Have them "air-write" their word
- Have them go on a popcorn word hunt in books
- Have them tally each popcorn word they see
- Have them write a story using as many popcorn words as they can.
- Write the popcorn words on flashcards and see how many they can read in a minute.
I hope everyone will take advantage of these ideas during the week.
In other news, we have been moving and grooving with our Lively Letters. Recently I have introduced the "h brother" /sh/. We also have met /s/, /z/, /r/, and /l/. Ask your child what sounds each of those letters make. We are concentrating on blending and segmenting CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words. For example; I may say a word and ask them to tell me all the sounds they hear. I would say, "Tell me all the sounds you hear in the word "fun". There response should be /f/ /u/ /n/. This is a great oral activity to do while driving in the car or in a waiting room at the doctors. We have also been working really hard to blend CVC words together. We often talk about the importance of vowels and how every word needs a vowel (superstar as I like to call them) to be considered a word. So far we have learned short vowel sound /a/, /o/. /u/. and /i/. I will put three letters up on the board (p a t). The kids must tap each sound out and then blend it together. They have even noticed that some words they make are nonsense words (or alien words as we like to call them in Kindergarten). I have seen so much progress in these skills even over the last couple of weeks.
Reading groups have been going strong for quite a while now. I have sent the guided reading folders home once or twice prior to Winter Break, but starting this week you will see their folders come home more frequently. The books that they are taking home are books that we have used in reading group and books that the kids are able to read independently. On the folder it does say to send the folder back to school each day, but if you would like to take a couple days to practice, feel free to do so. I won't send another book out until I receive the last one. Don't forget that the definition of "reading" is not just the ability to read the words. Children must understand what they are reading, read in a fluent manor, and use strategies to decode words they do not know. Although some books may seem easy for your child, know that we are working on many different strategies that good readers use.
In math, we continue to strengthen our number sense skills through many different games in the classroom. Each child has a math binder. In that binder there are many different number, fact, and strategy games. The children also love the paper and pencil activities. Most of these deal with rolling two dice, counting on, and finding that corresponding number. If you look on my freebies page on my blog, you will see I have posted all these sheets for you to download for practice if you so desire. Also, if you are more interested in the math binders, there is a search box on my blog. If you search for Daily 5 Math, you will be able to see better explanations and pictures of the kids binders. Today we talked about addition number stories. We learned that "plus" means to add all together. We even learned that the + is a symbol that represents plus. We decided that drawing a picture is a great way to solve number stories. Tomorrow we will be creating our own number story book. I can't wait to hear all the creative stories they have to share.
Writing Workshop has been running very smoothly. Last week, each child began to write a story about something they know a lot about. Something that has happened to them. First, I told them a story about the time I flushed my keys down the toilet. They thought that was pretty funny. Next, the children were able to turn to a partner and talk about something that they wanted to write about. We just started with one piece of paper and we concentrated on getting one complete though down on paper before trying to start the next. We also talked about space between our words. Starting next week, each child will be picking a specific writing "goal" that they would like to work on. Some examples of "goals" are finger spacing, using lowercase letters, staying on topic, adding details, using punctuation, telling more, and hearing the sounds in words. I will be also sending home a brown paper bag for the kids to put a couple pictures or small items that will remind them of some of the things they have done over the years. This bag will be available during writing workshop to help them think of ideas for their stories!
Last week we read "Snowmen at Night". This was a super fun story and really got the children to make some predictions about what snowmen do at night. Then, they got to choose what their snowman would do at night when they were all tucked in bed and sleeping. The kids absolutely loved this activity. I even saw that two snowmen were doing "Gangnam Style" at night. I thought this was hilarious. After they drew their picture, they wrote a sentence to go with it! Here are some great pics of there finished work.
I will leave you with a bunch of pictures of some of the new activities going on in the classroom. You should be very proud of your children because they are doing such a wonderful job! I think you will agree that you have seen quite a bit of progress made since the beginning of the year!
That's all for now...
