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.

          The second marking period will be ending by the third week of January and we will begin testing when we return from the holidays.  Students will be asked to identify and write numbers, count to 100 by 1s and 10s, identify and describe 2 & 3 dimensional shapes, identify capital and lowercase letters and identify their sounds, recognize and produce rhyming words, read high frequency sight words, blend 2, 3, and 4 letter words, identify parts of a book and the roles of the author and illustrator.  Please take some time at home to review these skills and concepts.
