*please keep track of any completed/ written work and place in folder that was sent home
*take time throughout the day for snack, lunch, recess, and some brain breaks (go noodle and fresh air!)
Morning News: click the link March 17, 2020 KC NEWS
*we read the morning news together every morning. One student points to the words and reads the news while the rest of the class follows. Please have your child read the news and find sight words in the news. If you have a printer, you can print the news and have them highlight sight words on paper. If you don't have a printer, your child can just point to the sight words that they find in the news!
Phonics:
- Students will practice RED WORDS. Red words are words we can READ and SPELL. Red words are now attached to your child's word list that comes home every day. Today, please use the Red Word Chart that you made in school on Friday to review your words- hang the poster somewhere in your house, get a pretend pointer, and teach red words to your brothers, sisters, parents, or even your stuffed animals! Pretend YOU are the teacher! Load the red words and arm tap them.
*Parents may send me pictures or videos of this if you’d like :)
- Students will review sight word lists. Please have your child read and practice his/her sight word lists. Students should recognize and read sight words while reading books from their book pouches. Below is a link to our "sight word powerpoint", which we use in school to practice words. Please review sight words using the powerpoint.

Reading Workshop:
- Scholastic Let’s Find Out! “Have You Seen Green?”- read your St. Patrick’s Day Scholastic that I sent home on Friday. I attached a student access code to the scholastic so that you can access it online. The website will read the scholastic to you, show you a video, and has a game to play! We use this site in school, so your child will be very familiar with it!
