Literacy Week of September 9th

This week we will be continuing unit 2 and continuing our work on what it means to be kind. We will be continuing looking at the importance of word order within a sentence, and then taking that one step further and looking into letter order within a specific word. We will begin looking at simple 3 letter words in order to show the students that it is important how letters are aligned in a word. We will be continuing with our Magic C letters by learning the letters g, d, and q. As a reminder, all magic C letters are letters that begin by making a letter C. If you would like to practice at home, make sure that your child is writing letters starting at the top, and going down to the bottom line, and also holding their pencil the correct way with their index finger, thumb, and middle finger.

Literacy Week Of September 2nd

This week we will begin Unit 2. In Unit 2, we will practice our Word/Print Awareness skills and discuss the importance of word order within a sentence. We will read stories and poems with the theme of kindness. We want to emphasize the importance of kindness, what kindness is, and how we can spread acts of kindness. We will begin writing our “magic c” letters. All of these letters can be written by beginning with a c! The letters we will write this week are: c, o, a. If your student is writing at home, please make sure they are holding the pencil correctly (index finger, thumb and middle finger) and writing their letters from the top of the line to the bottom line.
