**This week in Phonics we will be learning the vowel letter Ii and its short sound as in igloo and inch and its long sound as in ice. We will focus more on the short vowel sound. Please review sounds and writing of all letters learned so far. There will be NO SHOW & TELL next week. A second decodable reader titled Hop on the Mop was sent home last week. Be sure to listen to your child read the story and discuss the questions on the back inside cover. Then add the story to the little library box that was sent home with #1 Hot, Hot, Hot.
**Please review each night List 3 words. Test will be on Friday!
In Reading we will be reading and discussing the big book Animal Babies. We will focus on learning about the setting of a story and the main idea. We will also practice the learned high frequency words; have, is, a, I, the, and little, we, my and like.
