Kindergarten Sight Words
Gracie came home this week with a printout of 8 site words for her to work on at home.
I thought to myself, "a chance to do more with Gracie's education." I have felt so guilty for so long that I haven't had (or made) the time to keep up our education program at home.
So, feeling good and exciting to get to work together I pull the sheet out. I point to the first word--she hollers it out, I point to the second, she hollers it out...this continued for all 8 words. So much for creative ideas on how to use the words and learn them.
Don't get me wrong I was thrilled to hear her shout the answers out. And, my slight "frown" didn't last long because I found the complete list (for the year I assume) on the back cover of her gray folder. Now we can get ahead and master them all!
Today Gracie is home from school since they canceled for snow. I found a box of site word flash cards that I bought at a thrift store and started pulling out the words from the large list.
You couldn't have wiped the smile off my face with anything as I heard her got through card after card shouting out the word written on the front.
I stopped after a third of the words on her list because it was getting tedious finding them in a HUGE stack of flashcards, so we still have more to do. But, I am one proud mommy!
Below is a list of sets 1-4 (of 13) of her Kindergarten Site Word list. Those she has mastered are in red :)
Set 1: a, am, at, I, like, me, my, see
Set 2: the, to, you, and, are, in, is, it
Set 3: big, can, for, go, jump, look, not, up
Set 4: come, help, here, little, play, run, said, we
You can keep up with our progress on the left hand side of the blog. I will continue to add words she has mastered in red. And, I challenge you to send her a message in the comments or our email using the words she knows or is learning from the list. It will be a great way for her to be able to read messages that you send.

This is such good news, Gracie! You are doing so well. Pretty soon you will know all of these words!
