Language

 

The jolly phonic sound for this week is the "r" sound. Some of the words we will practise stretching out are: rad, rap, rat, ran, rib, rid, rim, rip, rub, run, rug, red. This is only a three minute mini lesson. The main objective is to give the students practise how seeing how words are formed and how we stretch out the sounds in order to make a word.

 

 

During the teacher read aloud the focus will be on the "problem" of the story and the "solution". As a group the students are asked to orally share what they believe is the problem in the story and how the problem was solved. Sometimes the students are asked to share what they would do to solve the problem.

 

 

All the By Heart Words are now on the board. Sometimes we play a game where a volunteer chooses a word they know and they are then asked to spell the word. All the students love this game. The JK's often ask an SK to help them by the game gives them practise to spell the word because many of the JK's are able to successfully identify most of the letters of the alphabet.
