This week we worked on the letter sounds
“n, c/k, e, and h” in our Jolly Phonics books.
Please review these sounds and songs with your child. The children
started to read cvc words based on the letters they have learned so far with
Jolly Phonics. A few examples would be
pin, cat, tack, pat, sat, and tip.
We read a story called I Love School!
by Philemon Sturges. The children learned how to discuss the book with a
partner and generate writing topics.
They then wrote about things they liked about school.
The book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by
Bill Martin Jr. was a hit with the children this week. The
children focused on strategies that good readers use when they read. The focus strategy this week was identifying
the problem in the story for the characters and the solution. The letters wanted to climb to the top of
the coconut tree. There were too many
letters and the tree bent. So, the
letters fell and got hurt. Then, they went to bed and A dared them to race to
the top.
