Well, we've had a couple of full weeks, and now we come to another short one - Thursday is Remembrance Day, so there will be no school on that day. Grades K-12 will have a Remembrance Day service in school on Wednesday afternoon.
This week we are finishing up our next group of sounds - having done z, w, ng, and v, we will finish this group with 00 and OO (00 as in book, and OO as in boot). After the review video on Tuesday, we will start the next group with y. I have emphasized to the students that they need to practice the sounds they've learned without the picture clues - so the half scribbler with the letters alone should be used regularly for practice as well as the big yellow duotang.
New tricky and sight words this week are he and she - this brings our list to: a, at, dad, for, is, I, mom, or, that, the, are, come, said, and do, and these words should be practiced regularly so that your child can feel confident when we begin writing.
