All of our scholars did an amazing job on their projects and presentations! All scholars demonstrated perseverance to complete their project timely, wisdom to draw a picture and write a sentence to describe their symbol, and courage to present to the many families who visited our classrooms. The costumes were fantastic! We had George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Statue of Liberty, and many colorful and creative combinations of red, white, and blue. As teachers we were absolutely amazed at their creativity, confidence, and excitement in presenting their American Symbol projects. Also, thank you parents for your hard work and support in making our Project Night very successful. As always, we couldn't do it without you!
The mastery of 70 phonograms orally is expected at this point in the year. If your child is not at mastery, please spend extra time each night working on this. You can separate your Spalding cards into 3 decks with a combination of the first 26 phonograms and the remainder of phonograms. Choose one deck and go through the deck 1 time and set aside 2 piles. One pile is for the phonograms your child knows accurately and the second pile is for the phonograms your child either needed a prompt to remember or needed to be given the sound. Next, review the second pile orally. As an extra practice say the phonogram sound and have your child write the phonogram. You can use your child's in class Spalding paper to write the phonograms. The next day use a different deck. Every three days your child will practice all 70 phonograms. The amount of phonograms practiced daily will not feel as overwhelming or tiring when using this method. This is the same method we will be doing in class. It is very important that we continue to practice our phonograms orally and written on a daily basis to ensure mastery of all 70 phonograms.
