T-Day

Kdg- we are working more on sight words, make mini books to help practice (one word a day, most days).  We are also concentrating on both beginning and ending sounds, supplementing this skills with targeted worksheets.

1st- we are on sight word list 11 (out of 12).  The students are focusing on using the words in a sentence to get a better sense of their context.  Today we used interactive writing to combine efforts in making sentences for specific words.

2nd- it's back to spelling, vocab, and story as normal this week. To fill extra time the students complete daily language reviews (1/2 sheet worksheets) and reading comprehension packets.  I can see a definite improvement in their ability to take the information they have read and express understanding.

4th- the focus in spelling this week are plural forms of words.  All the classes are still on separate stories, this week one of the groups started reading "Shiloh" (a chapter book).  The use of vocabulary flashcards seem to be helping.
