Senior Infants Group (Ms Tolan) 08.06.20 – 12.06.20
Hi everyone, hope you are all keeping well and trying your best to keep up with your school work. I know it can be difficult sometimes but please keep working hard!
The word families that I would like you to focus on this week are ob, ub and am.
Here are some useful tips to teach the word families
- Have children write (or dictate) a sentence or a story with some of the -ob words and then illustrate it.
- Ask students to pick two to four words from the list, copy them on paper, and then draw
- Make a flower stem with a round shape on top and print -ob inside the circle
- Cut out petal shapes to be added to the flower. Students take a blank "petal," write an –ob word, and, if possible, illustrate it. Each –ob word gets added around the centre to make a Word Family Flower.
- Also, just to remind you that Twinkl is a really great resource which is free at the moment. There are loads of great resources and information for parents if required.

Hopefully you got a chance last week to log onto Collins connect, we are continuing with Red Band A Books this week.
Hopefully, you got a chance to have a look at the jumpstart website, there are loads of great fun activities there for your child.

where you will find lots of short reading activities to help your child.
