Hi Parents,
This week we will begin our month long Dr.Seuss celebration!!
His birthday is on Saturday, March 2nd. In order to honor Dr. Seuss’ birthday, we will be doing an author study and various activities for the next two weeks. We invite to you visit the following links with your child. These sites include books, games, activities, and more about Dr. Seuss that you can do with your child at home.
If your child has Dr. Seuss books he would like to share please send them in. Please label their book with their name.
Our annual Read-A -Thon will be taking place throughout the month of March. Your child is encouraged to read as many books as they want. After each book is read they need to complete an activity from the activity sheet and present it to their teacher(these activities are short and easy to do). Once the teacher reviews the book activity, your child will add apiece of a stripe on The Cat in the Hat's hat. Early Childhood's goal is to read 200 books throughout the month of March.
This week we will be studying Letter E:
This week we will be studying Letter E:
This week we are going to be working with the letter Ee. The vocabulary that we are going to be focusing on is the following: elevator, egg, envelope, elephant, elbow, escalator, exit, eggplant, and empty.
If you have any items at home that begin with this letter, send them in with your child and we will return them on Friday. The kids get excited to bring things from home.
Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:
Let Elvin the Elephant entertain you. You'll be amazed at everything Elvin can do! This engaging rhyming tale teaches the letter E.
Elmer is an elephant who has a colorful body, with yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, green, black and white arranged as a patchwork. He has a cheerful and optimistic personality, and he loves practical jokes.
It's an extraordinary day on Pebble Island for three frogs when one of them discovers a beautiful white egg. They've never seen a chicken egg before, but they're sure that's what this must be. So when the egg hatches and out crawls a long green, scaly creature, they naturally call it . . . a chicken!
The acclaimed author of Black? White! Day? Night! and Lemons Are Not Red gives an entirely fresh and memorable presentation to the concepts of transformation and creativity. Seed becomes flower, paint becomes picture, word becomes story--and the commonplace becomes extraordinary as children look through and turn the pages of this novel and winning book.
Words in a family will always rhyme; however, not all rhyming words belong to the same word family. "Hair" and "care" both rhyme, but come from different families. You may want to try the following link for an online game to play with your child.
You may want to try the following link to play with some word families and challenge your child with them.
We will continue working with the sight words: her, has all,if, boy, girl . We are now up to 69 sight words!!! A list of all 69 words will be sent home so you can review these words with them.
Please practice them with your child at home!!!
It is important for students to learn sight words in order to help them become fluent readers.
Remember that sight words are words students are able to read upon “sight” without having to sound them out. They help facilitate reading comprehension giving students a better opportunity to understand other words in context as they read.
