We Are Reading!

Can you believe that only nine days into kindergarten your child can already read the following words: I, my, & can! Way to go! I would also like your child to practice the following sentences:

* Rabbit had rain in her garden.

* "You will not get my eggs!" yelled Mama Turtle.

These sentences were introduced in conjunction with our letters. We practice pointing to each word as we read! Happy reading! :)

We also learned how to spell the color word purple with the following song:

PURPLE
(tune: She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain)
P-U-R-P-L-E, PURPLE, PURPLE
P-U-R-P-L-E, PURPLE’S WHAT THAT SPELLS
PURPLE GRAPES ON THE VINE
PURPLE KOOL-AID'S FINE
P-U-R-P-L-E, PURPLE’S WHAT THAT SPELLS

P-U-R-P-L-E, PURPLE, PURPLE
P-U-R-P-L-E, PURPLE’S WHAT THAT SPELLS
PURPLE GRAPES ON THE VINE
PURPLE KOOL-AID'S FINE
P-U-R-P-L-E, PURPLE’S WHAT THAT SPELLS

Thank you for working with your child each night! :)
