Nightly Learning
Please set up a nightly 'homework' routine with your child. It should be no longer that 15-20 minutes and could include reading the small books that your child is bringing home in the mail bag, reviewing high frequency words (listed below) and completing some of the review activities listed below. There are many options for variety and to help keep it fun! Your child will have a R.E.D. (Read Every Day) folder to record their reading activities. There will also be important weekly phonological activities included in this folder. Folders will be collected every Monday morning.

High-Frequency Words
High-Frequency Words
High-frequency words are words that students will encounter often when reading and writing. These words often, but not always, have irregular or uncommon spelling patterns making some of the sounds. Over the next few weeks, we will be reviewing some of the most common words that students probably worked on in Kindergarten.
Flash Words - Words that have regular spelling patterns and can be sounded out, but are so common that it is valuable for students to know them on sight.
Heart Words = Words that have irregular or uncommon parts that students need to remember. Often, some parts of these words are regular and students just have to remember the "tricky part."
Temporary Heart Words - Words where the tricky parts are only tricky because students have not yet learned or mastered those phonics patterns.

We have been reading these high frequency word poems in class. Read them at home too. Be sure to have your child point to each word as it is being read. This is called tracking and it helps your child focus on the words.

We have continued to play counting games and have been comparing numbers using the < , > , = symbols. Please continue to compare numbers and practice oral counting skills at home. Listen closely to ensure your child is pronouncing the teen numbers correctly. (i.e., fifteen is often referred to as fifty by mistake). We have been estimating small collections and completing number lines. Review these skills with the activities below.
This is a rekenrek, we can use the beads to build our numbers. Move some on the top to the left and some on the bottom to the left to create different ways to make the same number. Click on the image to try it out.

We have been discussing the four legs of a Mustang: Respect, Responsibility, Cooperation, and Doing Our Best. Here are some videos to help review the meanings of respect and responsibility.
We will focus on personal problem solving using our WITS this week. When dealing with an issue with a peer, we try to use the first 3 parts of our WITS before seeking help, but remembering that some problems are too big and we must seek help first.
