Halloween is Near!








Focus on Curriculum     

October 21, 2016

Jolly Phonics:  This week we learned the letters l and f.  For the letter l we pretend we are licking a lollipop.  To make the sound of the letter f we pretend that we are squeezing the air out of an inflatable fish. We know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k, i, e, h, r, m, d, g, o, u, l, and f.  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 the book The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin.  We did many activities that centered on the story.  We also read Disney Scary Stories.  Lastly, we added the poems Jack-O-Lantern to our poetry binders.
Popcorn Words:  This week we added the sight words me and am and put them on our word ring We completed make-a- match activities focusing on the word am and me.
Handwriting:  We worked in our journals making sure our pictures matched our words.
Math: We talked about reading, writing, and counting the numbers up to 10.  We also focused at looking for patterns.  We continue counting everyday in class focusing on our end of trimester goal of counting to 50.  Our math centers had a Halloween theme.
Art:  We made a Spookley pumpkin project
