Test on phonics list #7

In Phonics we’ll finish learning about the letter K and begin the consonant Bb as in balloon, black, and boy. Word List 7 was sent home on Wednesday and will be tested on Friday, January 11th. 

In Reading, we’ll read “See How We Grow.” This book takes readers through the early years of the life of twin girls. We will be discussing how all children change at they grow. Students will learn about cause and effect. Please be sure to review your Family Times when it comes home next week.

In Math we’ll practice ABB patterns. Students will be introduced to a new coin, the dime. We will count dimes and pay for items up to $.50. Students will also practice matching number cards to a set of objects.

Students will be taking the next part of the DIBELS test next week. They will be tested on First Sound Fluency, Letter Naming Fluency, Phoneme Segmentation, and Nonsense Word Fluency. We will also begin testing for the 2nd marking period report cards. The sight word flash cards in your child’s folder are a great way to quickly practice the words but we may have missed cards for a few of the words. Here is a list of all the words I expect students to know for the test:
