We are learning trickier sight words! Come, comes, and said don't "play fair" - we just need to "get our mouth ready" and remember them!

We have been noticing how some of the little words we know are hiding in bigger words! If we can see the little word then reading the big word is easier. This week we practiced reading and writing words with "at" in them. These videos have the words we practiced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UAajWf0TLo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W0xeWNNZE8 There are a few bigger words in this one it has a catchy tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm0QHt9VrBU Watch out for that crazy a!  

We are back at it in kindergarten! The children have been eager to read, write, count and play this week! We have finished with our "letter of the day" focus so we spent some time reviewing the letters and the sounds. Here are a few links if your child still needs some reinforcement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WRATosTseM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0vTrfbK3FM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyKdUpJQBTY Our sight word this week was go. We learned that really quickly so we added endings to read going and goes too. The children were proud to read sentences like: Dad goes in a boat (with a boat picture) and I am going on the bus. You could add these words (go, going, goes) to your Blast bag and memory game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbNfqunIcJc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZsORjBDGzc

The children spent some time with the Grade 6 students in the computer lab today. They went to a special site where they could play Christmas games and do Christmas activities. Here is the link: http://www.northpole.com/ The elves will take time from their work to talk with you! http://www.northpole.com/Clubhouse/ElfChat/ The clubhouse section is where we spent the most time: http://www.northpole.com/Clubhouse/ When they clicked on the game chest the children liked the concentration game and building a snowman.
