SAFETY & GERMS



WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT SAFETY THIS WEEK!  
MCGRUFF, THE CRIME DOG TOLD US NEVER EVER TALK TO STRANGERS.  STRANGERS ARE PEOPLE WE DON'T KNOW.
WE ALSO LOVED THE STORY, OFFICER BUCKLE AND GLORIA.  OFFICER BUCKLE AND GLORIA VISIT LOTS OF SCHOOLS TO TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT SAFETY!
AND THEN WE LEARNED HOW TO KEEP OUR BODY SAFE FROM GERMS.  OUR SCHOOL NURSE VISITED OUR CLASSROOM AND READ A BOOK ABOUT GERMS.
GERMS CAN MAKE US SICK
YUCK, WE DON'T WANT GERMS ON US!
                 

                 
                 
WE USED A SPECIAL LIGHT TO SEE ALL THE GERMS ON OUR HANDS
                 
IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE ALL THE GERMS ON OUR HANDS!

 WE ARE GOING TO REMEMBER TO ALWAYS WASH OUR HANDS!
THANK YOU MS. GUENTHER!!!

SIGHT WORD SUPERVISORS!!

Sight words, often called high frequency words, are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode.
Sight words account for a large percentage (up to 75%) of the words used in beginning children's print materials. The advantage for children being able to recognize sight words automatically is that a beginning reader will be able identify the majority of words in a beginning text before they even attempt to read it; therefore, allowing the child to concentrate on meaning and comprehension as they read without having to stop and decode every single word.  Being able to recognize a large number of sight words gives students a better start to learning to read.

We will use lots of fun ways in the classroom to practice our sight words! Our "supervisors" greeted us this morning as they wore our new sight words on their visors!!!  I think we will remember "the" and "little"!!!
