The boys and girls had fun learning rhyming words during our Nursery Rhymes unit last week. I read several rhymes every day and focused on one of the following each day: Hey Diddle, Diddle, Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet, One, Two, Buckle My Shoe. Singing a few songs along with Jack Hartmann's "Rhyming to Read" CD was definitely a favorite activity! Here is a link to Jack Hartmann's Web site: http://www.jackhartmann.com/ I use several of his songs and videos to reinforce learning strategies. The children loved the following video when I taught the numbers 1-5:
We learned 8 color sight words in the past few weeks: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, black, orange, brown. They have also learned: I, a, my, see, the. Please review each sight word with your child by using flash cards (index cards or paper), chanting, cheering, and using them in sentences.
