This should be a very exciting week for our Kindergarten class. We are really starting to build words and make a lot of connections with letter sounds and placement. Just last Friday, students were able to use the "short a sound" to start making and recognizing words such as mat, hat, cat, pal, cab, and many other three letter words. This is such an exciting moment and it only gets better from here! Here's to a great week with many reading successes!
