Literacy: Monthly Writing

Acrostic Poems: The students of Room 103 worked on using descriptive words when describing something. This task had a focus of September and using description words to create an Acrostic Poem. Students then created Acrostic Poems using their names as the main idea. Our Acrostic Name Poems are displayed outside our classroom door.

Starting to create sentences...

The students of Room 103 are starting to create sentences using high frequency spelling words, the word wall and teacher assistance. 

Activities at home: Have a journal at home and have your child write down a sentence about something they did that day or what they liked about their day. Help them out with words that are harder to spell but encourage them to sound out each letter and write down what they hear!

Curriculum Expectations:

-confirm spelling and word meanings
-spell some high frequency words correctly
-spell unfamiliar words using a variety of strategies
-confirm spellings and word meaning or word choice using a word bank
-print neatly and recognize the properties of the different letters
-automatically read and understand some high frequency words
