Focus on Curriculum                 April 28, 2017 

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 end 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 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 learned the sight words was, are, saw and well.  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.
