Literacy

In literacy this week we have been focusing on the letters l,h,and k and on the sightword, go.  We spent some time working on our handwriting using the sky, plane, grass, and worm lines, using white boards and  sky writing.  During read to self time, we have been making sure we notice familiar words, match what we say to the print, and continue to get our mouth ready when coming to an unknown word.  We also have been focusing on the difference between a letter, word, sound, and sentence.  The students have also been having a bit of practice counting out syllables in words.  During a variety of read-alouds, the students have been making predictions, talking about characters, and determining the problem and solution.  We have also worked together to retell many of the stories that are read aloud to us.
