Focus on Curriculum
February 27, 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 book Bears Loose Tooth.
We learned
the vocabulary words: savored, frowned, welled, gulped, and nibbled. We also watched The Berenstain Bears Go to the Dentist.
Word Family’s: We
worked on the en word family this week.
First we started with the word ending en and then we add
different letters to the beginning of the word ending en to make new
words. For example, for the en word
family we formed the words (Ben, men, pen, etc.)
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words four, five, and said
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 worked with adding up 19 using 10 and ten
frames as our starting point.
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. The students then had a
chance to share their work with their classmates.
Social Studies: We focused on Dental health
in our Weekly Reader. We even had our
school nurse talk to the kindergarten students about the importance of dental
health and brushing and flossing our teeth.
Art: In class we made a Teddy Bear project that tied into our
story for the week. Bear’s Loose Tooth!
Next week is Dr. Seuss
week in kindergarten. Please be sure to
check our Dr. Seuss schedule each day to find out about the fun activity
planned for each day!
