For the Week of December 7th

Sight Words

Last week I wrote about students memorizing sight words. I included lists of sight words to practice. Some of you may have found that your student already knows all of the sight words I included so I am including more lists in this weeks blog.

List 6: many, busy, pretty, beauty, any, only, chocolate, List 7: above, among, animal, pasta, isle, trouble, triple, double, people, List 8: imagine, change, once, medicine, recipe, engine, strange, angel, List 9: garage, library, necessary, orange, parent, sugar, toward, honor, source, List 10: answer, brother, every, father, mother, other, very, America, another, bury, cover, hero, purpose, List 11: again, against, always, said, says, today, straight, Wednesday

Conferences

I enjoyed conferences last week. It is great to be a part of the cooperative effort with parents to help their student thrive in the classroom. It was fun to hear anecdotes about the students and to get a more varied picture of them.
