We worked on the sight word, some, this week in reading groups. We also learned about the different types of homes that Native Americans lived in long ago.
In reading groups today we started the book The Thanksgiving Feast. We went on a picture walk to search for sight words. We read the book together and connected the first Thanksgiving to our own Thanksgiving celebrations with friends and family. The Pre-Kers circled the sight word ‘will’ and colored the illustrations of the book.
In reading groups today we started a new book called Pilgrim, Pilgrim. We explored new vocabulary and practiced writing the words pilgrim, Mayflower, and Thanksgiving.
We used shapes today to identify our sight words in our new book, Leaves Fall Down. Look for this book to come home Thursday or Friday in your child’s backpack. This will be a great book to pull out during your nightly reading time together! We are reviewing the sight word the and is. We are also working on the word this during reading groups this week.
In reading groups today the Pre-Kers focused on the sight word ‘make’. While reading our book of the week, Making Bubbles, we were exposed to the sight word used in context. Next we listened and identified the beginning sound of ‘make.’ We searched for pictures that had the same beginning sound. To close reading groups for today we searched for the sight word ‘make’. Working with sight words in different ways promotes comprehension and memory.
