We have met almost all of our Zoophonics animals! We talked about Yancy Yak and her sound today. We practiced reading and writing some popular words that start with /y/ too - the words yes and you that are on our word wall. Many children are excited to spell the color words now too - yellow starts with y. Check out this Yakety Yak Sesame Street video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJfr8jSVnHY(link is external) And why do we love Y? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qGHh0_6Xbc(link is external) The children will meet Cliff Hanger from the PBS show Between The Lions. Can your child yodel? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwbte-tD9cc(link is external) Parents may enjoy Nora Jones singing about the letter y - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEzxchU4RUY(link is external) We noticed that y is not a letter that plays fair - you may want to look at the post about Grade 1 learning that y is sometimes a vowel.

While kindergarten is learning the consonant sound for the letter y, Grade 1 will look at when the letter y sounds like i or e. Check out these videos:

Grade 1 is learning their doubles facts in math class. We have a few tricks to help us - for example 9+9=18 is our 18 wheeler fact and 6+6=12 is our dozen of eggs fact. Can your child tell you the rest? Here are some links to some games that make practice fun: http://www.ictgames.com/robindoubles.html http://www.maths-games.org/ladybird-doubles.html http://www.ictgames.com/bridgedoubles.html
