My philosophy of education is a reaffirmation of my own commitment to excellence and a promise to share such ideals, as well as methods of reaching them. Learning is a process where the most important product is simply the love of learning. Children's potential can never be underestimated. They deserve a teacher that can recognize and develop their talents through activities that are engaging, memorable and fun!

April is focused on phonics
Students are working on practicing and adding to their phonic knowledge in April.
We are working on blending - where students say individual letters then blend them together until they read the whole word as one word. We are also working on word families and rhyming words. We continue to practice listening for the first sound in a word to identify the letter with which the word starts.
Some students completed a worksheet to practice the SAM reader site words.
Students created -at word family flip books by trying out new letters in the beginning of the -at ending. They checked with me to read their new word. If they discovered a word, they wrote that letter on a piece of paper which was stapled to their very own -at flip book.
They all worked on blending word puzzles.
We started a lotto game to recognize beginning letter sounds.
In Spanish, we are singing the months of the year and the days of the week.
