Snip-Its of Spring

Spring is Here! 
(Tune: Are you Sleeping)
Spring is here.
Spring is here. 
Goodbye snow.
Flowers grow.

Birds and bees.
Leaves on trees.
Hello, spring.
Hello, spring. 

Room 5 has been singing this poem all week in hopes of some "springy" weather!

Students are cracking up over the "egg-xtra" work!
-We Read There was an Old Lady who Swallowed an Chick and sequenced the events in the story.
-We made tissue paper chicks
-We Cracked into our 5 new sight words for the week.
-Tapping out words is more fun when they are stuffed in an egg! 
-Look out for our Build it, Write it, Draw it spring sentences.


Fundations
Here's a snip-it of our daily routine for fundations:
 Drill Sounds: Students practice saying 10-12 consonants and vowels
Sight Words: We read and spell each sight word. Sometimes we use the words in a sentence.
Tapping: Students are given multiple cvc words to say, tap, and spell. This is reinforced throughout our centers.
Magnet Boards/White Boards: Twice a week students have the opportunity to build or write their letters and words for mastery. 

Digraphs
Starting this week, students were introduced to a digraph.
A digraph is when two letters come together to make one sound. 
For Example: The word Chip: /ch/ /i/ /p/ The digraph ch makes one sound. 
ch-chin-/ch/


Healthy Habits
Students and teachers have been extra diligent in our hand washing and applying hand sanatizer!  
The Flu season is among us! 
The nurse asks that we remind parents; if your child is sick and has a fever they are not allowed to come to school until they have "Fever Free" for 24 hours.
