I am very happy to announce our Classroom Coordinator for KC! Esther Parsons, Zoey's mom, has volunteered to help coordinate activities for our wonderful group of scholars and families. Mrs. Parsons will be able to explain the activities which will take place outside our classroom for families to get to know one another in a social setting. For our classroom, Mrs. Parsons will be sending out emails to families asking for donations for our Quarter celebrations, volunteers for reading groups, and, if needed, volunteers to help with assembling books and other classroom help. I'm sure you will be hearing from Mrs. Parsons soon!!
Bi-Weekly Week 5 will be sent home in your child's folder next week. I apologize, Mrs. Trujillo and I were unable to complete all the assessments this week due to a shortened week and picture day. One section of the bi-weekly is rhyming words. Scholars are asked which words rhyme: cat/dog or cat/hat? Rhyming words can be challenging for some scholars because it is an auditory activity used to build a child's phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the understanding that spoken words consist of sequences of sounds. Many scholars will listen to two words and hear the first sound as in hop/pop or hop/hat and think the two words rhyme because of the same first sound. By reading rhyming poems and books you can draw your child's attention to the ending sounds and develop phonemic awareness. When reading a rhyming poem or book ask your child, "which words rhyme?". If your child answers incorrectly give him/her the correct rhyming words and point out the ending. For example, hop/pop rhyme because they both end in "op". Soon your child will be hearing and saying rhyming words all on their own! Reminders:
