The By Heart Words for this week are: do and she. These are part of the kindergarten word list. However, this is mainly for the SK students to assist them for next year in grade one and to help them in the area of reading and writing. Not next week but the following week the SK students will come home with a list of all the words we have learned so far.

 

The Jolly Phonic Sound for this week is the "y" sound. The students love the silly sentences that I make using as many of the words as possible. Then volunteers (JK and SK) come to the front and circle the sound when they find one in the word. This strategy is really assisting all the students to learn the letter and sound. This is by far the best learning strategy I have come up to assist the students to learn the letter and sound jolly phonic learning.

Some of the words I will be using this week are" yak, yam, yap, yard, yarn, you, your, yawn. yea, yell, yet, yelp, yolk, yo-yo. yes, yesterday, and yoga.
