We have been working on a more difficult book during reading groups this week.  It contains our previous sight words: is ~ can along with our new word~we.  Most pages contain multiple sentences which is requiring the students to pay close attention to each and every word that they are reading as they track the words with their finger.  This book also contains missing words that the children added by listening to the sounds in the word.  They’re working hard as we continue our journey to becoming readers!

We finished up our reading groups today as we read, I Can Move, for the final time and then had the opportunity to work our small motor muscles as we colored the pages of our emergent readers.  The students have worked very hard this week mastering their new sight word: can.  They have done such an amazing job!  As we learned the new sight word, we reviewed its letters and sounds Cc~Aa~Nn.

What would you do if you traveled to space?  What would you see?  We read the story, On the Moon, by Anna Milbourne to discover who can travel to the moon, how they get there, and what the moon is like.    We responded to the reading during writer’s workshop.  Our focus today was adding details to our illustrations and adding labels to help our “audience” understand what we are trying to say.  What an amazing job they did!  I think I even saw our new sight word on one or two.  They are on their way to becoming wonderful writers!

We have started working on blending sounds together to form word family words.  We’ve started with the -at family!
