Sight Words: Round One

Hannah's teacher sent home a packet in her folder last week, informing us that she was in one of the higher reading groups and that she will be receiving extra sight words to complete at her own pace. The teacher stressed that this is merely a supplement so that the child can read at their own pace and a child will not be made to feel bad if they do not pass the list one week (although that was Hannah's first question to me - uh-oh, she may have picked up my worrying personality). Once the child passes a list, s/he will get the next list. Hannah's first list was:

I
go
like
we
am
at
a
can
see
the

She came home and already knew most of them. We worked on them all this week and today she passed the first set. Way to go Hannah! She was mostly excited because she likes to make sentences out of the flash cards I made with these words on it. I told her the more words we have, the better sentences she came make.

On to List #2!
