This week in Fundations we focused on writing words by stretching the sounds we hear and saying the words slow like a turtle.

Our sight words for the week were: do, that, as, has

We finally had a full week of school!  This week at school we:

·        Read My Lucky Day

·        Worked on the numbers 16-18

·        Practiced addition and subtraction word problems

·        Review tally marks

·        Learned about stretching out words like a snake and sounding out words slowly like a turtle

·        Wrote words on whiteboards after saying their sounds slowly

·        Wrote about where we would go after reading Oh The Places You’ll Go

·        Did a snowman science experiment

·        Read lots of books and sentences

·        Learned about Independent Reading! We did 5 whole minutes of quiet independent reading! The students were FANTASTIC!  They are great readers!

·        Made a Dr. Seuss craft

Ask your child what else they learned.  Our sight words next week will be ‘one,’ ‘two,’ ‘three,’ ‘four,’ ‘five,’ and ‘be’.

Enjoy your weekend!
