Friday 01 October, 2010: Grade 1, 2, 3, and C3 Class

Grade 1:
In this class, we used alphabet flashcards to learn the letters of the alphabet. We focused on the sounds of the letters /a/ and /b/. Some words with the letter /a/ are: apple and ant. Some words with the letter /b/ are: book, bear, banana, bread and butterfly. We also sang the alphabet song.

We also learned the words “yes” and “no”. We practiced saying “yes” while nodding our heads and “no” while shaking our heads. Then we read the story “I have to go” by Robert Munsch, and I had the children nod or shake their heads and say the words when they heard “yes” or “no” in the story.

Grades 2 and 3:
In this class, we reviewed the letters of the alphabet and the sounds that each letter makes. We then practiced sounding out some three letter words. The words we practiced reading were:

bat / bet / bit / bot / but / bag / beg / big / bog / bug

C3 Class:
In this class, we reviewed the vocabulary from last class (friend / school / teacher). We also learned the words parrot and bird. Remember:

A parrot is a bird that talks.

Then, we learned how to ask and answer the question “Who’s that?” We practiced with every child in the class. Eg.,

Who’s that? That’s Ideree!
