Thinking and Learning Centers Week of Nov. 4

We are starting to do Lexia- and IPad APP that allows readers to practice a variety of skills that will support them on their journey to becoming avid readers!

Building CVC (Consonant/Vowel/Consonant) Words

With the middle vowel sound /a/

Ask your child to tell you the sounds in each word and then show you how we pinch and blend.

For example- CAT

They will touch pointer finger to thumb and say the sound /c/

Then middle finger to thumb and say the middle sound /a/

Then ring finger to thumb and say the sound /t/

Then swoop their hand and blend together to say the whole word "cat"

This is how we start learning to sound out words with 2, 3, and 4 sounds!

Next week your learner will bring home work with the middle sound /o/

 Readers and writers worked to unscramble words and glue them together to make a sentence. Then they practiced tracing and writing the words. After that, these learners illustrated a picture to match the words!

Practicing writing "heart word" sentences! All the pink heart words came home this week!

Brown Bear Retell bag- After reading and rereading this story many, many times your thinkers made a retelling bag! They worked to carefully color each character correctly to put in the bag. After that, they glued the story to the front and circled all of the heart words! Have fun retelling the story with your learners at home!
