Yes — "am" is a Dolch Primer sight word. It follows regular phonics rules, but it's taught for instant, automatic recognition because it appears so often in early reading.
I am happy today.
"Am" is a fully regular short-a word, but as part of the sentence "I am", it's one of the very first phrases a child reads and writes, so it's taught for instant recognition from the start.
