Falling Leaves!

Focus on Curriculum     

October 2, 2015

Jolly Phonics:  This week we learned the letters r and m.  For the letter r we pretend we are Rags the dog and say r,r,r,r.  To make the sound of the letter m we pretend we are hungry and see a yummy meal and we say m,m,m,m,m. We know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k, I e, h, r and m.  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 Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip With Kindergarten.  We did many activities that centered on the story.  We learned the definitions of chaperone, post office, bakery and steers. 

Popcorn Words:  This week we cut out the popcorn words like and up and put them in our popcorn bags.  We are keeping our popcorn bags in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and at home. 

Handwriting: We worked in our handwriting books focusing on the letter T both upper and lowercase letters.

Math: We talked about reading, writing, and making 6 and 7.

Social Studies:  Our Weekly Reader focused on Autumn since the fall season is upon us.

Art:  We traced our hands and made a fall tree.  For the leaves we used paint and put 50 colored dots using paint.
