Table Talk
1) This week we were introduced to 2 new characters who will help us remember the letters and sounds that we need for reading and spelling. Have your child tell you one thing they remember about Daisy Dragon and Ollie Ostrich. Then have them tell you what sounds those two characters like the best.
2) In math we have been learning about patterns. Ask your child what a pattern is and get them to show you a pattern. (Example: Clapping a pattern- we did this in class)
3) Our two new sight words of the week are “of” and “do”. We also learned that “of” is a jail word, have your child teach you what this means.
Have a great weekend!
