Language Arts On Monday the students took home their September songs. I hope you enjoyed sharing those with your child. Our song for this week was, October. We worked on the letter/sound for M and D. We made a mouse from an M and we also make dogs. Our popcorn word for this week was "big".
Fine Motor We learned a song that reminds us to start our letters "at the top". We practiced making uppercase F's, E's, D's and P's. These letters are all considered "frog jump" letters because you begin at the top, go straight down and then frog jump back to the top to complete the letter.
Math We have been focusing our attention to positional words. Practice using these words with your child at home. over, above, under, below, between, beside, next to, in front of & behind.
RTI- 1st grade tier 3 reading
We started our LLI (leveled literacy intervention) program this week. The students will be bringing home a red folder and a book pocket daily, please check the homework and return the next day.
This week we read a variety of poems and highlighted the rhyming words in them. We began building an ABC linking chart to review all letters/sounds. We read the stories, "Waking Up", "Frog Food" and "The New Puppy". As we read these books the students will bring them home to reread in their red book pockets. Please take the take to enjoy listening to your child read these stories. At times they will come home 2 days in a row. It is great to reread books, it builds confidence and helps with fluency!!
