Fun At The Museum!
Focus on Curriculum April 29, 2016
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.
Word Family’s: This week we worked on our short o family ob.
We thought of words as a class that ends in ob. The students came up with (knob,
cob, job etc.)
Reading: This week we read Chicks N’ Salsa to continue our animal
unit. We worked on a class research
project on horses since we are focusing on animals, in particular, farm animals
this week. We read our very own small
books All About The Farm and On The Farm With My Friends!
Writing: We continue writing
in our journals. We focus on using a
capital letter to start sentences, proper punctuation, spacing between our
words, and the neatness of our writing.
We also reread our writing to make sure it makes sense. On each page of our writing journals we have
a check list to double check our writing.
Popcorn Words: This week we cut out the popcorn words was,
are, saw and well and glued them in our spirals. We now have eighty
three words and they are: I, a, it, in, see, big, my, like, up, run, on, at, we, me, am, did,
not, is, can, but, to, too, ran, into, for, little, and, yes, go, no, so, the
you, down, he, she, be, her, our, out, get, help, now, look, good, jump, will,
have, must, one, two, three, four, nine, said, this, that, new, soon, went,
come, do, all, there, who, what, where, they, say, play, away, eat, please,
want, with, came, ate, make, ride, was, are, saw, well. Our spirals are going home
today. We are going to keep our spirals
in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school
and at home. Please remind your child to
bring their popcorn word spirals to school every day. Please practice the popcorn words with your child at
home. The words are getting difficult.
Math: We continued working on addition facts that add up to ten, along with
subtracting numbers up to ten. Please
continue practicing reading and writing numbers 1 through 20.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on seeds.
Art: We completed a horse project that will be on
display in our hallway.
