Reading/Language Arts
In Language Arts our learning targets this week have included:
*review of the letters Dd, Hh, Ll and Oo and their beginning and ending
sounds.
*Sight word review
*blending sounds
*recognizing simple sentences and discriminating when words are not a
sentence
*Realism/Fantasy– identifying what events could really happen and which are
only make believe (would never happen)
*ABC order (This is hard for many.)
In writing this week we have learned about simple sentences! Simple
sentences usually have a noun and a verb! We haven’t learned about
imperative sentences yet! We practiced writing simple sentences and
remembering our capital and period! Each day we also do our “Daily Fix-it!”.
In this activity, there are errors that make the sentence wrong. We find them
and correct them! It could be capitals, end marks, or spelling errors! We are
getting better at finding them!
