Library: Due to picture day, we missed our library for this week. Thank you for sending your child’s book back. Our next library will be on Wednesday, November 7th. Friendly Reminders:
fun games to play at home!Check out some of these posts with great ideas to help kids learn their word wall words, other everyday words and even math concepts. You can even do these activities with your French words. Make it fun and play with words.
10-simple-sight-word-activities Here are some other great ideas found on this blog Make words with small objects! Favorites are jewels (Dollar Store and Dollar Tree are great places to get these items). Which Word is Right? Write 3 spellings of the sight word, only 1 correct. Have your child erase the wrong words, leave the correct spelling! Dry Erase Writing Simply have your child write the word you call out on a dry erase board. Allow him/her to look at the word wall if needed to keep things positive. You could do this on the IPAD or computer or even a Boogie board. Make words out of play dough or pipe cleaners Rainbow Writing The kids also like using different coloured gel pens and so they could write the words in different colours. You could even buy the paint for windows and they could write their WWW on their window in their room. Search and Read Write words on post it notes or index cards and post them around the house. Word Search Here is a website that you can make your own word search. You can either print it out or have your child play it on the computer. Make a word search puzzle Concentration or Matching Game You can use this game for math concepts (numbers, shapes, patterns...) and language (French or English words). Put words or math concepts on index cards. You could make 2 sets and they have to match the same words or match the number word to the number, or shape to the shape word etc. Play cards Go fish using words or math concepts. The Grade One team has also come up with a list of apps that we will/may use in the classroom. Some are free apps and some you do need to pay for. Please choose the ones that best suits your child's needs if you are interested. This is not obligatory, just another way to help your child with the use of technology. As well, we use Starfall and Raz-kids regularly to help with language
