In this ongoing class, we will explore the letter R through spoken language to help strengthen R sound phonemic awareness for reading and speaking. The letter R is often tricky for readers because it can greatly influence the sounds around it - it is called the Bossy R sound for a reason! Each week, we start by talking about R at the beginning of words, R blends, and the R sound that comes after vowels to build each student's confidence. We will then move on to play a game with different R themed vocabulary to build into sentences or short stories. I have created games similar to Clue, Memory, Battleship, Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Life, Jeopardy, and Family Feud for past classes, and I am always trying to think of new games to keep it exciting and interesting. This class is very social and each student will be presented with several opportunities to share each week. Upcoming themes include: Week of June 5: Snacks Week of June 12: Vacation Week of June 19: Summer Week of June 26: Under the Sea Week of July 3: Zoo Animals Week of July 10: Camping Week of July 17: Fair Week of July 24: Garden ***No Class Week of July 31*** Week of August 7: Groceries Week of August 17: Space Week of August 21: Ancient Egypt Week of August 28: Cities ***No Class Week of September 4*** Week of September 11: Occupations Week of September 18: Pirates Week of September 25: Fall Week of October 2: Video Games Week of October 9: Transportation Week of October 16: Disney Week of October 23: Candyland ***No class the week of October 30*** Week of November 6: Home Week of November 13: Thankful ***No class the week of November 20*** Week of November 27: Baking Week of December 4: Food Week of December 11: Holiday **No class weeks of December 18, 25 and January 1*** Week of January 8: Time Week of January 15: Winter Week of January 22: Dinosaur/Caveman Week of January 29: Arctic Week of February 5: Art Week of February 12: Valentines Week of February 19: Jungle Week of February 26: Mystery **No class March 4** Week of March 11: Opposites Week of March 18: Spring Week of March 25: Music Week of April 1: Books Week of April 8: Flowers Week of April 15: Weather Week of April 22: Castles/Knights Week of April 29: Sports Week of May 6: Pets **No class weeks of May 13, 20 and 27** I will do my best to keep this list continuously up to date.
