Focus on Curriculum
February 12, 2015
Jolly Phonics: We have completed
all our jolly phonics sounds. Now we know the sounds of the letters and letter
combinations: s, a, t, i, p, n, c, k, e, r, h, m, d, g, o, u, l, f, b,
j, oa, oa, ie, ee, or,oo, ch, sh, ng, th, ou, qu, ue, oi, er, ar, z, w, v, y,
and z. 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 have learned this year. It is for your reference so you can
practice with your children each letter and the sound of that letter.
Reading: This week we read the books The Day It
Rained Hearts and There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Rose. We also completed many Valentine’s Day
activities and 100th day activities. The children were able to color their very own Zero The Hero in celebration of the 100th
day!
Word Family’s: We
worked on the ad word family this week.
First we started with the word ending ad and then we add
different letters to the beginning of the word ending ad to make new
words. For example, for the ad word
family we formed the words (mad, dad, lad, bad, etc.)
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words will, have, and must
and glued our words in our popcorn word ring.
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. Please practice the popcorn words
with your child at home.
Math: We continued counting to 100 by ones and tens. We continued working with a combination of
addition and subtraction. Our centers
have a winter theme.
Writing:
We
wrote in our journals. Each day we
write the students are becoming more confident in their writing skills and are
more eager to share their experiences, thoughts and ideas. We also wrote about what we would do if we
had 100 dollars.
Art: In class we made a Valentine project that the students are
bringing home today to share with their families. Please be sure to check your child’s backpack for their Valentine
project.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
