Week 6

Sammy Seal

We started intensely working on our first letter this week.  Each letter is attached to an Alphafriend to help the kids remember the letter.  Last week was Sammy Seal Ss!  You may have seen many Ss papers come home.  We worked on recognizing the letters, writing them, and know that Ss says /s/.  Be asking your child about words that begin with Ss!

Sight Words

We also started working on sight words.  We say and spell each word every day and do different actions to make it fun!  Ask your child what his/her favorite sight word activity was!  Last week our sight words were:

Poems

We also have weekly poems.  Last week we had the Color Rap because we are working on a color theme right now!

Here's the poem:

Yellow, Yellow, lemon jello.

Red, red, poppyhead.

Black, black, beetle back.

White, white, stars at night.

Green, green jelly bean.

Blue, blue, missing you!

Our other poem was a sight word poem called, I Can!

This poem goes:

I can jump.

I can run.

I can play in the sun.

I can swim.

I can skate.

I can bake a cake!
