Nonsense Words
I have sent home a list of nonsense words with some students. Practice with these words at home. This link is a quick video of me reading the words.
Reading nonsense words are vital to phonics instruction because it forces the reader to use their letter sound knowledge to read the word instead of memorization.
Reading Log
To ensure that students are reading on a regular basis at home, reading logs will be sent home weekly to be filled out showing what book students read and for how long each day. This will need to be signed by parents. This will begin next Monday.
Reading logs will be sent home on Monday and collected the following Monday.
Students have completed the iReady Beginning of the Year Diagnostic.
After completing the diagnostic, students will begin working on lessons for their path on skills that they need to work on.
Weekly iReady expectations have been sent home.
I will begin meeting with small groups while others work on journal writing, independent reading, and reading skills.
We have been getting on chromebooks and joining and signing into various websites we may use throughout the year. All login information will be on a sheet that we will staple to the front of their planner.
Students have joined my Google Classroom, logged into a site, Epic!, that has books to read online, and other reading sites.
We are finishing up Studies Weekly, Week 2 "Important Documents". We have read about The Constitution, The Declaration of Independence, and The Bill of Rights.
Students should continue to work on learning their emergency contact information!
