Home Reading
I hope you all enjoyed the first week of Home Reading! The kids were SO excited to take books home to share and read with you. Please note that we encourage the kids to self-select books that are a good fit for them and this may take some time for them to be able to do with increased independence and accuracy. We are also asking that students try to keep their books for a minimum of three days in order to really practice the books they have. This time frame will also help our teachers and volunteers keep the Home Reading book baskets organized and replenished as much as possible.
Word Work: Digraphs
This week we learned about and practiced a variety of digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that, when combined, make a whole new sound. We learned that they can be found in the beginning, middle or ending of words and went on word hunts to add to our Digraph Dictionary!

This week we went deeper into our exploration of the Four Sacred Medicines and the Seven Sacred Teachings. Students learned about the creation, purpose and sharing of these teachings by looking at maps, stories, and participating in class discussions. Ask your kiddo about how the Seven Sacred Teachings found in Indigenous cultures and practices can be used in our daily life and communities! They might be able to speak to our growing documentation board (see below!)
