Kindergarten
Reading- We reviewed all of our November songs.  Look for them to come home today.  This week we learned the sounds for "ee", "or" and "z".  Our new popcorn words included; to, too & do.  We worked on building sentences with our popcorn words.  We continue to review all of our letters, sounds and words.  Practice blending sounds together to make words!
Writing- We worked on the formation of capital U,V,W and X.
Math- We put numbers in order from 1-10.  We counted out bears and birds.  We practiced writing numbers on the dry erase board.  We played a game working on greater than and less than with numbers 0-10.

1st grade tier 3 reading
We worked on the short vowel sounds and began filling in our own vowel books.  We learned a poem to assist us in remembering which letters are vowels.  Continue to read the books that come home each day.  Repeated reading increases fluency as well as word recognition.  The boys should bring home a book each day with the exception of Thursday.  Each Thursday, I progress monitor their reading fluency and sight word fluency. We also spend time working on the kindergarten and 1st grade sight words and I-station on the computer.
