Sight Word Practice!

I have decided to start sending home the Sight Words that we are working on home with the students so that they can practice them at home as well as at school! There will be about 5 words per week. Each word will be in a poem. Have your child use a highlighter or marker and find the Sight Word within the poem. Read the poem together; or have your child read it to you. Have them underline or circle any other sight words they know! Then have them re-write each word and use it in a new sentence. This is not HOMEWORK; it is just extra things to practice at home if you would like your child to have the extra practice and you have the time. Please do not panic if it does not get done each night; it is meant to be helpful not stressful!

Thank you for your continued support in your child's learning!

For Math, we will continue with our number sense pattern by making groups of 10 and relating this to the corresponding addition fact. One way we practiced was by having 10 circles with white on one side and red on the other. The students shook them up in their hands and dropped them on to their desks. Then they counted; how many had red facing up and how many had white facing up? They would colour this on their sheet. How many different combinations of red and white are there that add up to 10? This can be related to addition. If I have 5 red and 5 white; I know that 5+5=10. If I have 6 red and 4 white, I know that 6+4=10! Try it at home!
