Practice handwriting:
You can use the orange handwriting book to practice any pages you would like. You can complete 2-3.
If you do not have the orange book at home, there is a handwriting document that you can download and print from the resource page:
Writing Sight Words:
Open up one of the books that was sent home, or one that you already have. Write down as many sight words as you can find. Count them up! How many did you find?
Write a personal narrative: Write about your favorite thing that happened this week!
Personal Narrative Directions:
Remember to share your story first, then draw your picture plan. Include:
- A small moment: something has to happen!
(NON Example: I went to the store. Example: I went to the store and my mom bought me a piece of my favorite candy, Reese's!)
- Characters with labels(me, mom, names of people who were important in the story, etc.)
- Setting: clear details that show where the story took place
- Emotions: characters should show how they felt (excited vs. sad/disappointed)
- Dialogue (speech bubbles or thought bubbles): We use a lot of "wow!" and "weeee!" Dialogue should be simple enough that they can sound out the word/phrase easily.
Then, add a sentence. Use your very best kindergarten spelling. Use sight word flashcards and the yellow card that is linked in the resource page to help you spell sight words correctly, and sound out the other words the best you can.
Parents, you can write the words correctly below theirs, but only AFTER they have tried on their own first. Support them as needed by saying: what do you hear first? what do you hear in the middle, and at the end? Stretch out the word for them (say it slowly) so they can hear the sounds more clearly. Have fun!
