Dear families and friends!
Literacy
Last week, we started writing the letter A and C in our journals. I am using the Mindful ABCs book to re-teach the alphabet. We learned that A is for Appreciation and C is for create! Ask your child what they mean and ask them to use it in a sentence. We also started to sound out words that begin with the letter as well! A is also for ant and apple. C is also for cat and curry.
Reading Strategies
We will be practicing reading strategies in the classroom. We talked about "Look at the picture". We are using pictures to help us with words we do not know. "Point to the word" - we need to point to every word we read. "Sound it out" - when we come across a word that we don't know, we can sound it out!
Announcements
* I sent home an in-class field trip form. Clay for Kids will be coming into our classroom to do a project with us. Please ensure the forms or signed and money is sent in a bag by January 31, 2019. We are also looking for 3 volunteers in the morning and afternoon. Let me know if you are interested by January 18, 2019.
*Please return ALL library books. We will be going to the library on Tuesday, January 29, 2019. Students who have booked signed out will not be able to take out new books.
