Star of the Week: Dylan

Sight Word Being Introduced: in

This week we will be concentrating on learning the letter "Y" - making sure we use the correct sound and writing it nicely with the correct diagonal lines. (Those diagonals can get a bit tricky!)
The students have also been doing a GREAT job of working in their reading groups with thier partner. I am so proud of how they have been working together so nicely and performing each task to the best of their ability.
We are also working hard on all those sight words and word families. If you are looking for a fun activity to do at home, feel free to make memory cards of words in certain word families and cards of the sight words, then play the "Memory" game or make up funny rhyming sentences.
A few of the word families we have been working on are:
- an (such as: fan, man, tan, Dan, Nan)
- ad (such as: dad, mad, sad, lad, bad)
- ag (such as: bag, tag, sag, lag)
- at (such as: sat, bat, rat, scat)

Let's have a great week!
