Language

The By Heart Word for this week is the word "all". This words leads the children to spell many other words such as: ball, call, fall, hall, mall, and wall.

The jolly phonic sound for this week is the "th" sound. Some of the words the children will learn are: thin, think, thing, thank, that, thick, then, thud.

This week we will continue to work on inferring. The posters are working out wonderfully and the children are sharing their ideas of what they infer is happening in the poster and now beginning to give some evidence. Also when I have a teacher read aloud the children will be asked to infer what they infer the character is feeling and how they know. For example, one of the children was reading a book with me last week and I asked her to infer how little duck was feeling in the story. She told me that duck was feeling sad and she knew because she saw in the picture there was a tear in little duck's eye. Wonderful inferring was happening while she read. She told me what she inferred and gave the evidence from the story.
