Week of March 4 - 8

KINDERGARTEN
The children have been extremely busy learning their "popcorn" words and most of them have remembered all of their letter sounds. They have been making sentences with the words that they know and are getting excited that they not only can write sentences, but that they can read someone elses sentences. What EXCITEMENT!

1st GRADE PUSH-IN
These children are still busy learning new "sight" words. One of their favorite word games is SOCCER. They also have been using Play Dough to make the words they are having difficulty remembering.

1st GRADE LLI
The children have been recognizing and using digraphs. These are clusters of two letters that make one sound. Your child brings home a book to read on most days. See how proud these children are getting with their reading skills.

2nd GRADE PUSH-IN
Being a brother or sister is our topic of the week. We will also be working on vowel pairs  oa, and ow.

2nd GRADE LLI
We are busy making contractions. Many of the books that we have been reading are non- fiction and have some very interesting information. Your child has become very excited with how well he can read. Have him read to you as many evenings as you can. Your child brings home a new book to read almost every evening.
