ZOO-PHONICS
Have you heard the song, “Meet Me at the Zoo”? We sure hope so!! The students will continue reviewing our Zoo-phonics animals through activities, games, and songs. We will focus on letter names, sounds, signals, and writing formations of 1 or 2 animals (letters) a week – please see calendar. We will begin putting these letters together, using the sounds and signals, to read small words. The children will read some new poems, finding specified letters, rhyming words, and sight words. For extra at-home practice, you could play “I Spy” with your child. Pick a Zoo-phonics animal and find items that begin with that sound.
