Language

 

There are many SK students that are demonstrating a keen interest in writing. The students are encouraged to write in the construction area, dramatic play centre and the creation centre. Since there are a number who are wanting to write I decided to ask a few in the morning class what they thought the new By Heart Word should be and they want the word "you" and I have decided on the colour word pink. I think I will offer the students an opportunity to choose the By Heart Words on a weekly basis.

 

The jolly phonic sound for this week is the short vowel sound "o". The vowels are very tricky for the students and they often require additional practice with these. Some of the words we will attempt to read are: log, pot, lot, jog, hop, got, hog, dog, mop, doll, nod, sob, top, rot, fox, box.

 

The word family this week is: op family. Here are some of the words: bop, cop, chop, shop, hop, mop, stop, pop, stop.

 

Teacher read alouds for the next two weeks will be Christmas stories for the sheer pleasure of listening to stories. The students love to listen to stories and I have so many Christmas stories for the students to listen to and enjoy.
