Parts of a Letter

In writing workshop we learned about the parts of a letter. If your child writes a letter at home, make sure to point out these important parts!

Word Study

We are studying bonus letters in word study.

The bonus letters in our language are f, l, s, and z. Bonus letters are letters that double up at the end of a word when the word contains a short vowel sound.

Here are some sentences you can dictate at home to encourage correct spelling and punctuation.

Did Chet get the red shell?
Beth sat in the den with Bill.
Tim will fill up the dish with fish.
We had to mop up the mess.
The bug fell in the web.
Jack had to sell his pig.
The hall is a mess.
Mom did not miss the mud at all.
I fell on the path.
Toss the ball to Kim.
Can you call the pup?
