Words Their Way

Next week I will begin to send home words from our Words Their Way sorts. We have done whole class routine practice the past few weeks. The students are given words/pictures and we have learned how to sort them according to how they sound (focusing on rhyming and word families these weeks), we've practiced various sorts like blind and buddy, and we have also done some word hunts where students "hunt" for their words in reading material. Next week I will send home a copy of the word sorts that your child is practing in class. I will also send home an outline of the week and what your child should do at home with the sorts. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Please make sure your child returns their reading books in their reading packs each day. I recently purchased several leveled books for my own leveled library to send home and would appreciate your care with them. Thank you!

Students are working hard at learning to read with fluency in Reading Workshop. They are learning to attend to the punctuation and have been practicing that with buddies and during their read to self time.

Our 5th mystery reader was Mrs. Burrey (Eliza's mom). Thanks for coming in and reading to us!!! Eliza was so excited when she saw it was you as she had a pretty good hunch given the clues!
