- Oakman Folder- sign and return behavior calendar for JANUARY!! ***2 red booklets were sent home to complete over winter break/month of January— start with booklet with numbers 1-2 on the front which we have done most of in class (see completed ones as “example”) then begin and finish booklet with numbers 3-4 on the front be THE END OF JANUARY. The space to draw a picture is a way to respond (make a connection) to the text (story). We are working on making sure our sentence matches the picture. Your kid will need SOME assistance completing this book but should do the circling words, underlining, drawing, and writing on their own. Again this won’t be due until end of January so work on a little each day. (at least 15 minutes of reading EVERYDAY!!!! ***If complete please write a note on the front and I will check tomorrow. THANK YOU!
2. Reading bag- ***30 TOTAL***NEW SIGHT WORDS ARE IN THEIR BAGS am, do, not, who, with— I, like, the, see, we, go, can, she, a, at, is, was, will, he, has, on, in, and, you, up, look, it, my, to, and dog. Practice each night to MEMORIZE THESE WORDS!* And work on using them correctly when speaking in COMPLETE SENTENCES for example: He (when talking about a boy) vs. She (when talking about a girl). And “on” like the book is “on the table.” ***TEST OVER ALL WORDS WILL BE IN JANUARY SO PLEASE KEEP WORKING ON THESE OVER BREAK!!!!!****
