We have learned our letter names and letter sounds! We are reading! It is time to focus on Accuracy. In order to read with accuracy, we are focusing on blending and sight words.
Blending is a strategy we use to sound out unknown words. The students say each letter sound and slowly blend the word together. This strategy works for most words. We start with simple 3-letter words and move to long-vowel words as our reading improves. Our sight words (word bird words) are words that CANNOT be sounded out. These are words that we just must memorize. They are frequently used words that we just must know. Over the next few weeks, we are going to focus on both blending and sight words. This is something you can focus on at home, as well. Ask your child about blends and sight words we focused on in school. Challenge them to use blends and sight words in a sentence. Get creative!

Remember to read this weekend! 10 minutes every day is our kindergarten expectation. Our Service CommunityService Team and Kidstop is hosting a “March Against Hunger “ challenge. We have CEAP food bins near the office and the kidstop door. We are collecting non perishable items and cash collections. We have set a goal of 500 lbs. CEAP has also located a company to match our donations. Please encourage your scholars to donate. The classroom that donates the most items will be awarded a popcorn party. Thank you for helping fight against hunger.

Ms. BedfordI have been teaching for 22 years. When not at school, I enjoy traveling, knitting, and getting together with family and friends. My cat Gilmore brings me laughter with her silly antics. It is a joy to watch children learn and grow during the school year! Archives
