Focus on Curriculum
November 3, 2017
Jolly Phonics: This week I
introduced the letter combinations of ai and ay. We pretend we cannot hear well and say
“Aye.” We learned when two vowels go
walking the first one does the talking, says its name and the second one is
quite. Now we know the sounds of the
letters: s, a, t, i, p, n, c, k, e, r, h, m, d, g, o, u, l, f, b, a, j,
ai, and ay. 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 From Seed to Pumpkin. We did many activities that centered on the story.
Popcorn Words: This
week we learned the sight words can and is. We are going to keep our word rings in the
front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and at
home.
Math: We talked about more and fewer and shorter and taller. We used our IPADS and the Seesaw app to take
a picture of play-doh demonstrating the concepts of shorter and longer. We continue counting everyday in class
focusing on our end of the year goal of counting to 100. Our math centers had a fall and Halloween
theme.
Art: We made a pumpkin
project labeling the vine, stem, seed, pulp, brains, skin, and ribs.
