Dear First Grade Families, In Fundations we will be learning long and short vowel sounds. Remember if you are unable to print out any activities, have your child use a notebook or paper. Please share your child’s work with us by taking a picture and sending it to your teachers on ClassDojo, Remind, or by email. Thank you! Love, The First Grade Teachers Monday, April 20, 2020 Today we will review how to read and write words with “short a” vowel sound as in “cat” or “dad”. 1) Practice Routine Drill Videos https://youtu.be/2MMiie4vNwk (Letter Sounds) https://youtu.be/p7pkPhblI4k (Short Vowel Sounds) 2) Review “short a” Vowel Sound https://youtu.be/skzHoK6YIXs 3) Read the poem “Me and Dad” (2 times) -Write down all the words from the poem that have a “short a” vowel sound. -Write down the “Real” words from the chart with “short a” vowel sound.
