We have learned about l blends, r blends, s blends, and final s blends. We will also be learning about nouns/naming words.

We are also learning about contractions. Contractions are 2 words put together using an apostrophe to replace letter or letters. Examples are: I’m-I am, don’t-do not, isn’t-is not

We are also learning about singular and plural. Examples are: cat, cats star, stars

Reading-Recognize and read grade appropriate spelled words, decode one syllable words, read multiple text with expression, comprehension and accuracy.
