PE Enrichment:

Remember to start with PE first thing Monday morning and head to our meet at 8:35. Mr. Sinor is asking the kiddos to come with a balled up pair of socks and a container (bucket, basket, or bowl) for target practice.

 

Sight Words

So far, we have learned the following sight words:

I

like

the 

and

see

we

a

to

come

me

It is important that your student is able to read these words.  Please use the flashcards to review both these words and the letter names and sounds.  You can be creative and play games with the sight words and letters.  Please reach out to me if you need some ideas as to how to help your student learn these. 

Extra Sight Words

Some of the kiddos may be ready for a quicker paced sight word program.  I will be giving families and kiddos the opportunity to participate in an additional sight word program.  First priority will always be the district's weekly sight words that I teach in class.  The at home sight word program is only appropriate for kiddos who have mastered all the in class sight words and are ready for a faster paced program.  Here's how it works:

1.Go to the google classroom and under classwork you will find a new topic "At Home Sight Word Program" 

2.  Print Book 1 

*When printing, print the cover single sided and the rest of the pages front to back.  

3.  Assemble the book

*Fold the cover in half.  

*Fold the rest of the pages in half and check the order.  You should have List 1 front to back, List 2 front to back, etc.  

Begin practicing List 1 with your child.  When they have mastered List 1 front and back, they can let me know and I will test them on it.  

Mastering?  Kiddos should not be sounding out words.  Also, I will be testing the list out of order.  I recommend out of order practice to ensure mastery.  Let me know if you have any questions.   

Mrs. Martinez' Santa Workshop:

Mrs. Martinez is hosting an exciting contest for the kiddos.  Students can be entered in the contest if they attend all class meetings and complete all classroom work - on time - the day it is due beginning November 30th.

The contest will last 10 school days - November 30 - December 11th.

3. At the close of school on Friday, December 11th, I will send the list of names that have met the requirements.

4. Mrs. Martinez will draw 20 names from the list. Those names will be announced on our Motivational Monday video on December 15th. A special invitation will then be sent home to the family.

On Thursday, December 17th at 5:00pm, Mrs. Martinez will have a workshop set up for students to come. They will receive a gingerbread house kit, cookies and hot chocolate.
