The children continue to work on improving their reading and writing skills as we begin December.  We will be finishing our second units and beginning new units for both before the holiday break.  The children are reading familiar poems and old favorites. They continue to use resources around the room to help label pictures and begin to write sentences.  They are stretching out words and writing more and more sounds and words.
In phonics, we continue to practice letters, sounds, key words, and letter formation.  The students listen for beginning, middle, and ending sounds in words.  They are learning that sentences begin with an uppercase letter and end with punctuation.
