The Is Song

We have a sight word song weekly in first grade. Sight words are high frequency words that first graders will learn to recognize quickly. We have already gone over this song in class, and you can ask your child to teach it to you. Even if your child is already an expert at this word, singing together will help his or her development! Also, our sight word songs increase in difficulty. A former student (now in middle school) once shared that he still uses our first grade sight word song to spell "because" correctly. Often sight words have parts that can help students spell other, more complex, words accurately, as well. 

Our first graders are continuing the good work in terms of learning our routines! Wishing you all a restful evening!
