To guide the shift towards structured literacy instruction, the Mountain Views Supervisory Union recently adopted the EL language arts program across grade levels. Through this program, first graders are building their literacy and citizenship as the engage in content-based learning focuesd on tools and work. Students are exploring how tools help do a job. The guiding question and big ieda for our first unit is: Whey do we need tools? Tools make our lives easier by hepling us do work and create things.
During word study students are segmenting and blending three sound short vowel words. There has been a focus on sentence dictation with correct capitalization, punctuation and editing. Heart words (words that are not phonetically spelled) for this unit include: the, a, and is, his, of. Please help your child practice reading and spelling these high frequency words at home!
