Sight Words

We work daily in class on reading strategies to help us comprehend. One important one is fluency, which is greatly enhanced through practice and the quick recognition of "sight words". These words are called "sight words" because they are seen very often in print and we should know them immediately upon seeing them. In class we work on expanding our personal sight word lists to improve our fluency, and therefore our comprehension.

For our home extension activities I have encouraged the students to make sight word flash cards to practice regularly. For this we are using Dr. Edward B. Fry's sight word list. For more information on the selection of these words, as well as the lists, please click on this link. 

Book Fair

Our class will attend the PTA book fair on Monday, November 26 at 10:40 am. You are welcome to join us and help your child choose a book or books to purchase, or you can send money in a labeled envelope to school if you wish. If you do come in that morning please just meet us down at the Middle School Assembly Room.
