Happy Friday!
I will be using Raz-kids to help me develop my lessons. Here is a short video explaining Raz-kids and some of the features it offers.
One very important feature is the record option. Please record your child reading at lease once a week. It will help the teachers and myself know what we should focus on when we meet up.
Thank you!
I have sent invites to all of my LLI friends to join my remind. If you have not accepted yet, please do. I would like to start small groups tomorrow and Friday. I will send you an invitation today.
Please have a book close by so that I can have you read to me. If you have any questions about the work that your teacher has given you, you can also bring that.
Read the poem every day and answer one question a day in a complete sentence.
The Fat Cat
I had a cat
who was so fat.
He could not even sit on his mat.
Questions to answer:
Going On A Bear Hunt
Today, you will be going on a WORD hunt..
First, find your child’s sight word cards in their book bag.
Next, place the sight word cards around the room or around the house (in your child’s line of sight).
Give your child a piece of paper and a pencil, the paper should be numbered with the number of words that you placed around the room (if you placed 20 words…label the paper 1-20).
You and your child can now go on a Word Hunt! As your child finds each word, he or she should write it on the paper.
Happy Hunting!
Happy Friday! Here is a book to practice over the weekend. When you are finished reading, practice writing a sentence about the book.
For example: I can see lots of animals.
Farmer Bob has a lot to do on the farm.

Hello boys and girls! I made a book for you to practice reading at home. I know it’s tricky but please remember to use a crisp pointing finger while reading, look at the pictures and use the strategies we practice if you get stuck!
After you read, please practice those sight words! The more words you know the more fluent you will be.
Happy Reading!

We have been working so hard this year, and the only way we are going to keep getting better is if we practice, practice, practice! Please go to your reading eggs site and read some books. You can read the books in your bag again, books from your house, or even make your own books with the help of a reader in your family. Remember when you read:
Use a crisp pointing finger.
Look at every word as you read.
If you get stuck on a word, use what you learned in class to figure it out. Try yourself before you ask for help:)
When you’re done reading, think about what you read.
Find someone in your house to share what you read, or draw a picture of your favorite part.
Happy Reading!!!!!
Good afternoon!
Finding things to do can be kind of tricky, so here’s a little game that I played with my daughter today.
Alphabet scavenger hunt! Start with A and try to find something in your house that begins with the short a sound. Apple, aunt, alligator toy, etc… Once you found an a, try to find something that begins with b, then c, d, and so on….
You can change it up by doing ending sounds, or even middle sounds.
Happy hunting!
If you find you have some time on the computer or tablet, you can go to brain pop for free.
So remember to practice your cvc words. Really listen to that middle vowel sound. Maybe ask a family member to help you. They can say the word and see how fast you can write it. For example;
cat, hat, bat, rat…
dog, hog, log…
pet, met, bet…
pig, rig, big…
cut, but, put….
Hello,
I am missing you so much already! During this time, I am talking with your teachers and I hope that you are staying up to date on their blogs. If you have any questions or concerns please email me! I would love to help you. Just remember, to read everyday, play some board games, go for a walk and talk about what you see. Learning is so much more than paper and pencil work.
