We continued with our second book, Farm Animaals in K prep reading groups. The children workied hard to track each word in the repetitive text that introduces a new sight word each week. The sight word we worked on this week is the word, is. Sight words are words that are used most frequently in text. The reason that they are called “sight” words is because the goal is for your child to begin to recognize these words instantly, at first sight. These are very important to master because they account for up to 75% of the words used in beginning children’s books. These words, typically, are not words that can be “sounded out,” therefore need to be learned by sight. Many of the readers will be printed for the students to take home to continue rereading to help improve fluency and sight word recognition.
We had so much fun in our class this week! The costumes were so fun and lots of crafts, games, and a mummy snack!
The costumes….oh my! Animals, super heros, princesses, dinosaurs, cowboys, ghosts, and more! Such a fun party with games, crafts, and special I is for ice cream snack!
We practiced our Five Little Pumpkins finger play throughout the month. The toddlers reinforced this through group time action and crafts. We also used fine motor skills to take washi tape on and off little pumpkins, salt trays, dot paints, and coloring. Pumpkin shape matching too!
