Welcome to KG2A!
Where our learning possibilities are endless!
The children had an excellent learning experience at Ski Dubai. We met the Gentoo and King penguins and learned about their characteristics, habitat, food and what makes them special. The penguins were friendly and enjoyed meeting our class! Afterwards we had fun playing in the ski park. It was cold but we kept warm by moving around and going on some of the fun slides. We had a great day!

In science, we have been learning all about farms. We have learned what animals live on a farm, what is produced on a farm and how food gets from the farm to our dinner table. For science day, the children discovered many things about farms including: turning cream into butter, egg experiments, building an animal enclosure, discovering fruits and vegetables and learning about chickens and feathers. We had a great time! ![]() Successful readers use a number of tools to help them understand texts. One of the most effective and powerful reading tools that parents and teachers can help children develop is sight word recognition. When a child is able to grasp and identify sight words he is well on his way to becoming a thriving reader. What are Sight Words? Believe it or not, 50% of all reading texts are made up of the same 100 words! The most frequently used and repeated words in the English language are known as sight words. This list of words includes the, a, is, of, to, in, and, I, you, and that. Think about the number of times that you have seen these words in a piece of reading material. It’s probably too many times to count. Sight words are critical to reading not only because they are used so frequently, but also because many of them cannot easily be sounded out or illustrated. (http://www.k12reader.com/what-are-sight-words/2/) How can I help my child with sight words? Print the sight words I have sent home everyday review each word, (starting with the purple words) by showing the word to your child and having them repeat the word. Each month I will assess the students to see how many words they can name and they will keep track of where they are by placing their picture beside the list of words they are working on. (see the photo above, this is our bulletin board in class with the rainbow sight words. For fun sight word computer games see below: (for all the games be sure to choose the option pre-primer and or primer) www.abcya.com/sight_words_recognition.htm www.abcya.com/dolch_sight_word_bingo.htm www.abcya.com/dolch_sight_word_spelling.htm |
