We have been learning several sight words in class. These are words that don't always follow a rule and are words that should be recognized quickly and easily while reading. Students have a list of sight words in their home reading bags.

So far the Grade 1's have learned the following words:

a, am, I, like and to

The Grade 2's have learned the following words:

best, come, came, has, if let, man, manners, may, myself, please, say, and thank

Please practice these words with your child on a regular basis.

We are also learning word families. Most of the words are new to the grade 1's. The grade 2's are using blending sounds to make the words more challenging.

So far we have learned the -at family. Words like cat, hat, bat, chat, splat etc.
We have also learned the -ap family. Words like cap, nap, map, trap, flap etc.

This week we will be learning the -an family. Words like can, fan, span, scan etc.

Have a great day!!!
