Sight Words this Week

This week we did not add a new letter but we did teach two new sight words! We are studying "where" and "there". We discovered so many things about these two words. Some of our observations were:
- "Here" is hiding inside of both of those words!
- Another student observed that both words were the exact same except for the beginning letters of each word.
- We saw an "ere" pattern.

In order to help the words sink into our brains we gave each word some hand movements. Every time we read the word "there", we pointed at something. Every time we read the word "where", we put our hands to our foreheads as if we were searching for something. Try it at home together!

Here is a quick, fun song to help you practice the word "there".
