Sight Words

Are sight words stressing you out and bringing your child to tears?!?! If so, STOP THE INSANITY! it's the first 9 weeks of kindergarten. They will get it! Here is a "tip".

I like the 70/30 rule (7 out of 3). For every 7 words the KNOW, give them 3 words they are struggling with. If they don't know 7 words yet (and that is perfectly fine) give them 2 they know and 1 they don't. Once they have mastered that word give them the 3 they know and and 1 more. Then add 2 more, etc. They need to feel confident and see progress to want to learn more.

If your child is struggling with she - tell them to remember that sh is Mrs. Elkins favorite diagraph because it says shhhhhh😊

Remember these are sight words. In order for them to be able to move to the next list they have to know the words by sight (under 3 seconds) and read them fluently in phrases (example - she said to)

I hope these tips help!

The end of our crazy week!

This week we worked on what rhyming words were and identified and produced our own rhyming words!

In Math workshop we continued working on 3 D shapes and even did some graphing !

Our Oo Book turned out fantastic! We used the words we had come up with earlier in the week.

SOUND MUNCHER!!!!!! I love sound muncher. He comes to visit every week and rays items that start with our letter of the week. He had olives, oranges, owls, Oreos and Olaf to eat today (just to name a few)

Oh no I forgot to take pictures of our O craft today. I will do it Monday and add them to this post.

This is one of our ways of keeping up with blow many days we have been in school. So far we have been in school 15 days!

I will begin sending sight words home when students are ready. Right now we are all in list one but once we start going we will make it all the way to the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME (list 11) !!!!
