We can find sight words in poems!

Today, we were detectives trying to find sight words in our weekly poem I Can Hop!  We found the words can, I, a, at, go, like, and to.

Remember to practice reading our sight words with your child at home!  You can spy sight words in newsletters, magazines, books, recipes, signs, and so much more!  You can also write sight words in pairs on index cards and play a memory game!  Learning is so much more exciting when it is fun! 

 

We love our book buddies!!

Mrs. V's second grade class came to our classroom last Friday to read with us.  Her students are going to be our book buddies for the year and we are SO excited!!  Reading is much more exciting with our book buddies!!
