Language
This week we studied the vowel O! We thought of
many O words and practiced reading words with
the vowel O and figuring out if it has a long or
short O sound! Ask your child to read some words
to you and tell you if the vowel makes a long or
short sound!
We continue to practice our individual reading and
writing! Our snow pictures are all up - come see
our great sentences!
Next week we will study the letter R!
Word Wall – we will be starting our word family
word wall very soon! We will practice a couple of
word families each week and I will indicate these
in our newsletters and calendar. Please ask your
child to practice these rhyming words with you at
home!
