Words with the "ch" sound

Consonant Digraphs: are two consonants together that say one sound.  Today our class looked at words with the ch sound ie. cheese, chomp, chop, chimney.  When your child reads to you, have them look for words that begin and end with ch.  Next week we will be reviewing the sh sound.

Spelling Words (test on Friday) hop, mop, chop, pop, shop We are working on the op word family this week.  Please look under our web links for some fun interactive op family games.  These words also have the short o sound.    Short o Students will learn some tricks to help them with the short o sounds: 1.  When a word or syllable has only one vowel and it comes at the beginning of a word, that vowel makes a sound that is called "short"  ex.  off, on, ostrich   2.  When a word or syllable has only one vowel and it is between two consonants, the vowel makes a sound that is called "short" ex. mop, got, dog OCTAPUS (this picture cue helps them to remember the short o)                      Guided Reading Students will be bringing home guided reading books once or twice a week.  These books are to be read and returned the following day.  **Guided reading is a strategy that helps students become good readers. The teacher provides support for small groups of readers as they learn to use various reading strategies (context clues, letter and sound relationships, word structure, and so forth).

DECORATING PUMPKINS

On Monday we decorated two pumpkins.  One pumpkin was for the Pizza Delight contest and the other was for Gretna Green.  We divided the class into two groups to decorate the pumpkins.  Each group were given fun stuff to decorate the pumpkins with and we took a picture with them after we were all done.  The Pizza Delight group called their pumpkin "Spooky" and the Gretna Green group was undecided.  Some called it "Boo Spooky" and others liked the name "Halloween".  We had a spooktacular time!

LANGUAGE ARTS:

The Daily 5: Students have been learning valuable skills and behaviours for reading. So far this year, students have learned what a good fit book looks like, using the acronym I PICK I  choose a book P urpose - why do I want to read it? I  nterest - Does it interest me?                                                                             C omprehension - Am I understanding what I am reading? K now - I know most of the words   Also, they have been learning the 3 ways to Read a Book: 1.  Read the words 2.  Read the pictures 3.  Retelling a story I read before These skills allow students to feel both successful and confident in their reading.   Read to Self: Students are learning to work on stamina (yes, they know what this means!) when reading independently while practicing these behaviours: 1.  Reading the whole time 2.  Reading quiety 3.  Get started right away 4.  Working on stamina We practice this each day and we are now up to 15 minutes without any interruptions.  During this time, I work with students in groups or one on one.  Today we began talking about Reading to Someone.  In this activity, students will read with a buddy.  When they go home tonight ask them what EEKK means!  They should tell you that when your reading with someone you are Elbow to Elbow, Knee to Knee (EEKK).  They also learned that the book they are reading should be on their laps with each of them holding on to one side.  We practiced this behavior today by demonstrating both the right and wrong way.  Students had a lot of fun showing the wrong way but in the end they were all successful in showing me the right way.

MATH: WHAT IS A TEN FRAME?

A ten frame is a really neat organizer that helps students with recognizing numbers, building numbers, addition and subtraction.  This can be made at home to help your child with math.  The first row must be filled in first before you move to the second row.  When removing the counters you must start on the second row on the right and work your way to the left.    *Check out the class Links on the right hand side of this page for online games using the ten frame*

MATH - REPRESENTING NUMBERS TO TWENTY

  In math, your child is learning number relationships.  To help your child deepen their understanding of number relationships that we covered so far, you can have them practice the following: Reading and printing numbers to 20 and have them match numbers to a given set of objects. Reading number words from 0-20. (zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty) Practice counting forward and backward using the numbers 0-20. Make different arrangements of objects, dots, drawings etc See Link Below for Interactive Ten Frames
