This week we will be working on the letters Ff and Gg.  Tell your parents the sounds for francy fish and gordo gorilla. Funny, Friday, first and fish start with the letter f. Gorilla, grape and great all start with g. What words do you know that begin or end with these letters? What would your name be if it started with one of these letters? I'd be Giss Gatheson or Fiss Fatheson!! That would be silly!!!     We are still working on building stamina for Read to Self.  Remember the rules: stay in 1 spot, keep your eyes on the book, read the whole time, read in a quiet voice, no talking and work on your stamina! I'll be working with small groups this week while you practice.   Homework starts this week.  Parents, have your child choose 3 activities to complete for the week.  There are also sight words to practice and books to read.  You can keep the books for the week and send everything back on Friday.  Please practice tracing the alphabet in your zoophonics books.  Say the letter name and the sound it makes.
