What are we learning this week?

Sight words:  red, yellow, blue

Reading:  main idea

Reading Strategy:  make the first letter sound, use your fish lips to say the first letter sound

How can you help at home? 

Review any areas missed on the report card sent home at conferences.

Practice sight words & read 100 Book Challenge each night.  

Need a new way to practice sight words?  Let your child spell them and read them using play dough.

Review numbers to 18 by writing them and counting objects in sets 0-18.

Look for and talk about signs of fall.  How do you know that it is fall?  What signs do you see?

Reading:  identify the main idea while reading.

Writing:  practice writing simple sentences.  Be sure to write one word for each word you want to say on your paper.  Here is an example of what we typically see in student writing:  Students often say "I see a frog." is written on their paper, but they have only written "frog."  They do not realize they must have one written word to match each spoken word.
