This week we learned about the letter Aa.

We read Life in an Ocean

We learned to blend letter sounds to read words.

October Calendar & Calendar Data:

We read Chrysanthemum and made our name sticks.

Handwriting

I found this handwriting tape set several years ago.  I love it.

It fits the bill for our required scientific based program.

It comes with letter trace cards.  They are laminated and meant

to be used with a dry erase marker.  I run them off on copy paper-

my kids use their crayons instead of dry erase markers.  We use

the same page all week - on Friday they take it home. 

After we have listened and followed the directions on the tape,

we follow up with handwriting practice sheet. 

Here is the link to the handwriting pages I use:
