Kindergarten
This week I will be sending home two new activities. These will be delivered to your house with lunches on Tuesday. Hot Sun Word Maker is a laminated game board that you can reuse. There are letter cards in a zip lock bag that you will use for the game. This is for 2 players. Each person takes 5 letter cards. Players take turns placing their letter cards to make a word. If a player can't make a word they can return one of their letter cards and take a new one. The first player to use all of their cards is the winner. Students can also use it like a puzzle and make and read all ten words on their own.
The second activity is reading CVC words on the Easter Egg Hunt. There are 20 CVC words on the egg cards. You can hide the cards around the room and have the kids find them, read them and then write them on the the recording sheet. It's a no calorie egg hunt!!! Have fun!
There will be gift certificate prizes for students who finish levels on Lexia from March 17 until this thing is over!

1st grade and 2nd gradeIn 1st and 2nd grade we use Fundations which teaches specific phonics skills in each unit. We are constantly reviewing what we have previously learned and practicing new skills. Students will bring home word lists, phrases and stories to practice reading. We also use Lexia, which is an excellent intervention program for students. Students can use this program at home. Please let me know if you have problems accessing it. Thank you for helping them at home!

3rd and 4th gradeEach week in 3rd and 4th grade we have a story to read for fluency. We also use this story for comprehension. During the week the students should also work on Lexia. This is one of the best interventions for kids! Pleasant Hill pays thousands of dollars each year for our students to have access to this. It is a wonderful program, but we have to use it to benefit from it.

5th grade and Jr High5th grade students also have a fluency passage to read each week and comprehension questions to complete. We also use the Lexia program for interventions. Students can access Lexia at home to get extra practice. Please let me know if you have problems accessing the program. Jr. High uses a program called Power Up. It is also a great program for students to improve their reading, comprehennsion and grammar skills at school and home.
