This week we talked about the ake spelling pattern. We found out that the ake work together to make the long a sound. We sorted out short a words and long a words that had the ake pattern. We made words that contained the ay spelling pattern like cake, rake, snake, and bake. We also learned the sight words "your" and "if". We reviewed these words in the stories, poems, and writing we did this week. We continue to review all words and assess through the year! Please continue to work on these words with your child. The story this week was Abe Lincoln's Hat. While listening to the story, students were working on the strategies of identifying the problem and the solution, retelling, inference, making connections, and stating their opinion. Ask your kindergartner what their favorite part in the story was. Here is a video link to the story to enjoy!
In writing, we continued working on our opinion writing. We are practicing stating our opinion and then giving reasons to support our opinion. We will continue working on our opinion pieces next week. Reminders: Please be sure that your child BRINGS a snack for the afternoon. We have many friends not having a snack for the afternoon and our morning snack supply is running low. Please LABEL your child's cold weather gear. We have lots of friends who have similar items. Jaguar Jump Start is TOMORROW. Please wear your Jaguar clothes or the color blue. Thank you for all of your support!
