Kindergarten, Writing, Week 19

Monday I introduced the lower case letters h and n. K. practiced line of each letter each day.

Small Muscle Development:

• Tuesday we played Three Color Road Race -- see Writing, Week 10 for instructions

Story Development:

• Wednesday we played Catch My Silly -- see Writing, Week 5 for instructions

Writing Practice:

• Friday our activity was Rhyme Time from Games for Writing
• You and your child each pick a word (any random word will do). I picked "stop" and K. picked "cat".
• We filled one paper with words that rhymed with STOP and aother paper with words that rhymed with CAT.
• You can write out the consonants, blended consonants, and digraphs to help you. These would be: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, qu, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z, bl, br, ch, cl, cr, dr, fl, fr, gl, gr, pl, pr, sc, scr, sh, shr, sr, st, sw, th, thr, tr, wh, wr
• Then you can start writing your poem.
• The first line will end with a word from List #1.
• The second line will end with a word from List #2.
• Take turns adding one or two lines each, alternating the ending words from List #1 and #2.
• Here is our poem:

My horse went clip-clop
My horse is fat
I yelled to my horse "stop!"
My horse had a hat.
We stopped at a shop
We looked at a funny mat
We bought a mop
And a cat.
We bought some pop
We bought a bat.
We sat down plop
And had a chat.
