Weekly Updates

Week of January 20, 2025   

This week in class, we will be focusing on identifying emotions in others. Through various activities and discussions, students will learn to recognize different emotions and understand how facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice can help us tell how someone is feeling.

This important skill will help your child build empathy and improve their social interactions. We encourage you to talk with your child at home about the emotions they see and experience throughout the day.

Thank you for your support in helping our students grow emotionally and socially!

In FUNdations this week we will work on Unit 9 in FUNdations which is closed syllable words and vowel teams. Below are our posters for how we practice the sounds and how we mark up words 🙂


Fundations® VOWEL TEAMS POSTER 1 ...

These are the vowel team and dipthong patterns we will study.  For vowel teams we say “When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking and says its name 🙂”

We look at the word to see if it ends with a vowel or a consonant.  If it ends with a consonant we know it is a closed syllable and we scoop the whole word. The small curve above the u is called a breve and it notes that the vowel sound is short. As always we will mark up any other spelling patterns we see.
