They have a new item in their bags from today. \u00a0It is a small zip-lock bag with their name on it. \u00a0Inside the bag is a card with the word “I.” \u00a0This is their first sight word to practice at home. \u00a0Sight words are words that they should know right away without even thinking about it (memorize). \u00a0We will add a new word each work to this bag so please practice each night and return the bag inside their reading bag EACH DAY.<\/p>\n
They still should keep their ABC chart to practice their letters and sounds in their bag as well. \u00a0Remember you can play lots of \u201cgames\u201d with this chart beside pointing at the letters while singing the ABC song. \u00a0For example, try letters out of order\u00a0(this is how they will be tested)<\/strong>\u2026 \u201cwhere is the P.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWhat starts with a P?\u201d (pig) \u201cCan you think of anything else that starts with a \/p\/ sound?\u201d (pink, panda, etc.) We will continue to practice our letters and sounds with this song each day:\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JvPo7aEQMxg<\/span>. \u00a0If link does not work, go to YouTube and type in:\u00a0ABC Sound Clues with Who Let the Letters Out by Dr. Jean<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/span>I told them this song can even be played on most phones if they cannot do it on a computer. \u00a0They are VERY excited to show you this song and the \u201cmovements\u201d we learned with it!! \u00a0If you reinforce this practice at home, it will help them in school!! \u00a0Please take the time to help you child with this!!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Reminders:<\/p>\n 1. \u00a0THIS\u00a0\u00a0week, there with be a PTA MEMBERSHIP DRIVE! \u00a0Each child is to register and send in $8 to join.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0No volunteering needed. \u00a0Please support your PTA so we can buy much needed supplies for the children throughout the year.<\/p>\n 2.
