What an exciting and memorable month to capture. Please take a moment at the end of the day to ask your child some tidbit questions to recall their learning experiences . What is your favourite game on the IPad at school ? What do you like to play on the SMART Board? What is a bully? How do we help others? What is a popcorn word? What kinds of jobs can you help do to keep our classroom safe and clean? In Mme. Finlay / Ms. Lavoie's class who is Sam and Sofia? What is a passport? With your help, this will encourage detailed memory and critical thinking skills. The children have been super excited learning new words and have started to investigate them EVERYWHERE!!! You can help keep this a learningful experience by pointing out sight words or "popcorn words" during reading or when your out in the community. Ask your child to play "an I spy with my little eye" game or encourage them to find these lists of words at home. Early readers starts with recognition of letters then sounding the letters out. Please take time to work with your child on these skills. Popcorn words become a word they do not need to sound out they just know and builds to reading a full sentence.
