Focus on Curriculum
September 19, 2014
Jolly Phonics This week we learned the letters n, c, and
k. For the letter n we pretend we are
flying a plane. To make the sound of
the letters c and k we pretend we are playing the castanets. We know the
sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k and I. We like to sing songs and do actions for each sound to help us
remember them. Remember to review the
sounds we have learned in the letter and sound packet, which shows all the
motions and sounds used to make each letter of the alphabet that we will learn
this year. It is for your reference so
you can practice with your children as we learn each new letter and the sound
of that letter
Reading: We read Friends
at School. We did many activities
that centered on the story. We talked
about things we do at school and the friends that we have made at school. We learned the definitions of enjoy, gooey,
scrumptious, and container. We also
read Pete The Cat I Love My White Shoes and Pete The Cat And
His Rocking Shoes.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words in and see and
glued our words in our popcorn word ring.
Our indexes will be going home in a few weeks, once the children learn a
few more of our sight words to put in our popcorn rings. We are going to keep our popcorn word rings
in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school
and at home. Our popcorn word ring is
going home this week. We worked on
sight word make a match activities.
Writing: We
started writing in our new writing journals.
We glued in our journals the sentence “I see _____ in my class.” We had to write the name of one of our kindergarten
friends to complete the sentence and then had to create an illustration to go
with our sentence.
Math: We started talking about the terms more, fewer, and the
same. We talked about 1 and 2 more.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on Apples.
Art: We made a Pete
The Cat project that will be on display in our hallway.
