Assalamu alaikum! We had a great
week last week.
Here is what we've been working on:
READING:
The class did an amazing job reading the short story I CAN.
I can see. I can taste. I can touch.
I can hear. I can smell.
Alhamdulillah.
SPEAKING:
Every morning we practice our oral communication by taking turns sharing
special news, or announcements. Students
are learning to use the correct tense when speaking about the past, present, or
future.
PHONICS:
- Vowels: a-e-i-o-u sometimes y.
Through the songs “apples and bananas”.
- -Special focus on the letter Ii and its correct formation.
- -The letter Pp and its correct formation and sound.
- -An introduction to the letter Nn.
- -Rhyming words, students should know that rhyming words sound the
same. We read a song with many rhyming
words that the class was able to identify.
WRITING:
- -Writing the letter Ii, and Pp in our phonics books.
COMPREHENSION:
