Today during daily 5 I assessed the class on their sight words so far. Thanks to all the practice at home and our wonderful sight word moms working with them in class also, there has been amazing progress!! The check-in forms will come home today for you to see.

Here is the bench mark they should be at by JANUARY:

Kindergarten: should all know 40 pre-primer words to be on track for the end of year (end of year is all pre-primer and primer).

1st grade: All pre-primer and primer along with 20/41 First grade words.

I explained to the class that I did not want them to just be good at sight words but I want them to be exceptional and know more than they have to. They are excited for the challenge!
