Hi,
We are moving along at a fast clip. I hope everyone is paying attention to
the "Family Times" that I send home each Monday. It has the story we are
reading for the week, all the words we are learning and the letters. To date
we have now introduced all 26 letters. Your child should know these letters
by sight quickly. Please work with your child on writing their first and last
name. They will also need to know their full name, mother and father's name,
address to include number, street, and town and phone number. These skills
will be tested for the report card.
We now have learned 11 sight words: little, a, the, am, I, to, like, we,
my, have and is. Make sure your child can read these words.
We are beginning teaching sounds with letters, we have learned the sound for
the letters: M, T, A, S, P and C! we can now blend these words; at, mat, am,
tam, cap, Sam, pat, tap. Make sure your child is reading these words.
Thanks for all you do!
Ms James
