Please remember to read every night and practise our tricky words!
Initial Lit
Here are all of our current sounds in Initial Lit!
Spelling
Here are some fun ways to practise spelling regular words using our focus Initial Lit sounds, as well as our tricky words!
Playdough Letters Have your child roll and shape playdough to form letters of the words they’re spelling. It strengthens fingers and helps with letter recognition. | Letter Tracing in Sand or Salt Fill a shallow tray with sand, salt, or sugar, and let kids use their fingers or a paintbrush to trace spelling words. |
Magnetic Letters on a Board Using magnetic letters on a fridge or magnetic board, your child can physically move and arrange letters to build words. | Finger Painting Letters Use washable paint and paper to have your child paint letters with their fingers while spelling out words. |
Building Letters with Sticks or Straws Your child can build letters by arranging popsicle sticks or cut straws on a table. | Rainbow Writing Write a word in pencil, then have your child trace over each letter multiple times with different colored crayons or markers. |
Dictation
Here are some sentences that align with our Initial Lit sounds and tricky words. For an extra challenge, I've included the 'z' and 'zz' sounds!
Writing
Our class has been working hard on describing the characters and setting of the fairy tale, The Gingerbread Man. I’ve been so impressed with the effort students have shown in their writing this week! They are challenging themselves to write more independently and are beginning to use descriptive language to help paint a picture in the reader’s mind.
Maths
Until the end of Week 5, our class will be exploring addition. Students will learn to explain how numbers relate when we combine groups of objects & show how smaller parts come together to make a whole number up to 10.
Here are some tips for home:
