  1.  Kindergarten
      Language Arts- We have been working on reading words from the same word families.  We focused on -at, -am, -an & -ap.  New popcorn words include: will, have, must, one, two & three.  For writing we are focusing on lowercase letter formations.  We met magic c bunny and learned about how he helps us to make the letters c, o, and s.
    Math- We continue to work with numbers 1-20.  We are practicing adding and subtracting using all sorts of manipulatives.

    1st grade tier 3 reading- We worked on recognizing words that have a y as their ending to make a long i or e sound.  We also looked at the -ay pattern that makes a long a sound.  We are looking at words that begin with consonant clusters so far we have focused on sm-,sl-,st-,sk-,tr-, gr-,br-, & fr-.  Some of the daily books are becoming more challenging.  Make sure you practice reading them at home to build up fluency.
