Hello, Grade 1 Families,
Thank you to all of the families I met with during conferences. I enjoyed hearing more about your child and how I can support them this year.
Learning Intention: I can recognize and analyze letters and sounds in words.
Every day we have been meeting as a whole group and focusing on a new letter. Students are learning letter names and sounds. We also focus on the correct mouth position for the sound and are reminded not to add extra sounds such as "uh" to our letter sounds. We have also been learning about the airflow when making sounds and are learning new fun words such as "fricative". Ask your child if they can tell you what a fricative sound is and why it is called that. This time is filled with movement, the ABC song, searching for letters, and learning how to write each letter.
Reminder: When your child is printing, have them start their letters at the top. We are also focusing on writing our names using the proper case, so an initial uppercase letter followed by lowercase letters. Once we have moved through a group of letters, decodable books will be sent home for children to read each night. More information on how to support your child with reading at home will be sent home in the coming weeks.
We will be creating a piece of art on a lid next week. Please send a plastic lid (ex: margarine, yogurt) with your child.
