Literacy

Writers Workshop

With such a packed day you wouldn’t think we would be able to squeeze something new in to our curriculum. Yet, we did just that this week when we began our editor centers! The children are working very hard in the process of journal writing. Stay tuned for their finished products.

Some good writing strategies include:

·         Capital in the beginning of a sentence

·         Period at the end of a sentence

·         Space between words

Penmanship

The children now know how to write capital and lower case “w, v, t, s, c.” Ask your child how we start to write our letter (at the top).

The children learned a song “where do you start your letters?”

 

Riddle of the Week

What did the heater say to freezer?

Have an ice day!

Reading Update

We are proud to announce that we have received our phonics workbooks. The children are proud to work on their own workbook using the phonics strategies we learned in class.  A few of the words the children learned how to blend this month include:

black

blink

trip

trick

In addition the children know how to use their time wisely when it’s time to read a book. Each child reads their book and shares with their friends what they read.
