Digital Learning Day 17: April 14th

Yesterday, you were introduced to the letter Y with Ms. Y's yellow yarn. Today's lesson will focus on the letter Yy and the /y/ sound we hear at the beginning of words. Our Zoo animal that will help us remember this letter sound is Yancy Yak. To give his signal, form a “y-shape” by extending your thumb and little finger. Place your thumb next to your ear and your little finger next to your mouth, as though you were holding a telephone and “yakking.” While signaling, say the letter sound /y/. Note: Make sure you don’t say “yak, yak, yak,” instead of the sound /y/.

Did you know that most yaks live on farms?  There are a few wild Yak but they are in danger of extinction. There may be as few as 100 Yak left in the wild. All yaks have horns that form the shape of the letter Y, like the picture of Yancy. 

Yaks in India, saddled for riding.

Search for objects in the picture that begin with the /y/ sound. Hint: there are a total of 6. 

              

Can you read this sight word? Yes, you can! 

You can practice writing the word yes at home. Trace over the letters 3 times with different colors. Try using the word yes in a sentence. Here's an example: Yes, I do like to read. 

Tomorrow, we will look read a book about Yip and Yap. See you soon!
