Another wonderful week in kindergarten! We hope that your days at home are going well, and that your family has settled into a good schooling routine. We are continuing to enjoy getting to know your little ones! Remember that we are here to answer any questions or offer help and support in any way.

Math (see table above)
  • Continue to make story problems a part of your daily routine!

Reading
  • Cards for lesson 40 in OPG were sent out via email. 
  • Please take this time to review reading short vowel words. It is perfectly normal if your child is not quick and fluent yet at reading the words, but we do want to make sure they are sounding out and blending the word at the end.
  • We will send a link to WORD FANS this week. You may print them out and assemble them at home. This is a great way to practice reading short vowel words.

Composition (see table above)

Spelling
  • Daily phonogram review and instruction. Focus on mastery of our 26 phonograms!
  • Please continue to review AAS steps 1-4. We will resume with step 5 in a few weeks.
  • Dictate phonogram sounds for your student to write. Have fun with it! Use sidewalk chalk outside, shaving cream, a tray of salt, etc. (Or just use a dry erase board) 
  • Here are 2 fun songs to play word games with:
Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
Listen, listen to my word,
Tell me all the sounds you heard: /dog/
Student segments word into phonemes: /d/ /o/ /g/
Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It"
If you think you know this word,
shout it out.
If you think you know this word,
shout it out.
If you think you know this word,
then tell me what you heard.
If you think you know this word,
shout it out.
/d / /o/ /g/
Student blends phonemes into word: /dog/
Do with several 2 and 3 phoneme words: add, eat, hi, lie, way, and, bite, cut, jug, note, nap, sip,....
