Phonics list 10 test

  • This week in Phonics we will finish work with the letter Zz and will be learning the letter Cc with a /k/ sound as in cat and candy. We will learn the K & C Spelling Rule. The rule is that we spell the /k/ sound with the letter k when the sound is followed by the letters e, i, and y. We spell the /k/ sound with the letter c when the sound is followed by the letters a, o, u, and any consonant. For example: K before e, i, or y C before a, o, u, or any consonant

Friday-Phonics test on lesson 7
Kk Show and Tell


Phonics- We will be working on the new letter Kk, as in kite and kangaroo. We are learning a new rule in Phonics for the letter “K” to help the children decide which letter to use when spelling words that have the /K/ sound. We learn “K” first because K always has the /K/ sound; c borrows the sound from k. The rule is that we spell the /K/ sound with letter k when the sound is followed by the letters e, I, or y. (example-keg, kid. and milky). We spell the /K/ sound with the letter “c” when the sound is followed by the letters a, o, u, or any consonant. Example cat, cot, cut, and clip.
Friday the boys will have an opportunity to be KINGS in honor of the letter Kk.  Girls will have a chance to  be QUEEN later in the year when we do the letter Qq.

Math –We will be learning to count to 100, find patterns on the 100th chart, and count by 10’s to 100.

Reading- We will begin reading “Little Quack”. The genre is animal fantasy, and the comprehension skill is “plot”. We will be reviewing the letter “r” in this book. The children will learn about how people, plants, and animals grow and change
