A Rocking Week In Kindergarten!




Focus on Curriculum     

September 22, 2017

Jolly Phonics: This week we learned the sound of the letters e and h.  For the letter e we pretend we are breaking eggs.  To make the sound of the letter h we pretend we just finished running and are out of breath and we say h,h,h,h,h.. We know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k, i, e, and h. 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 Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes.  We did many activities that centered on the story.  We also read many other Pete the Cat books. 
Sight Words:  This week we added the words my and big to our word rings.  We read our very own small book titled Bedtime that focused on our new sight word my and our very own Pete The Cat book.  Please review your sight words nightly.
Handwriting: We worked on writing the letters e and h both uppercase and lowercase.
Social Studies:  Our Weekly Reader focused on apples and the animals that eat those apples!
Math: We talked about shapes both 2-Dimensional  and 3-Dimensional.
Art:  We made a Pete the Cat project showing him rocking in his shoes!
