Ms. Kelly's Grade One Class

Dear parents, What did we do this week?   Phonics  -  In this week’s phonics lesson we learned about the r-controlled vowel: /ar. We learned different words like  far, farm, art, part, card,  etc. The students practiced by saying the words over and over again. They all did really a great job of identifying the “ar” sound. We had more practice and wrote pages 121-126 in the Phonics Practice book.   Grammar-   (green group)  This week we learned about “Question words: What”. What asks about things and information. Do or Does come after what: What do/ does + subject + Base verb ~?  Example: What  does  she want? She  wants  to sleep. We had more practice and completed pages 78-80 in the grammar textbook.   Grammar  -   (red group)  This week we learned about prepositions of places. We learned words like “on, in, under, next to, behind, in front of”. We understand those words will help us to know where people or things are.
