Focus on Curriculum     

February 9, 2018

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, 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.
Reading:  This week we read the books The Day It Rained Hearts and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs! 
Word Family’s:  We worked on the ad word family this week.  First we started with the word ending ad and then we add different letters to the beginning of the word ending ad to make new words.  For example, for the ad word family we formed the words (mad, dad, lad, bad, etc.)
Sight Words:  This week we learned the words will, have, and must.  We are going to keep our sight words in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and at home. Please practice the sight words with your child at home.
Math: We focused on weight (heavier, lighter) and capacity and volume.  We did 100th Day math, all in celebration of the 100th day of school.
Writing: Each day we write the students are becoming more confident in their writing skills and are more eager to share their experiences, thoughts and ideas. 
Art:  In class we completed two crafts that focused on the book The Day it Rained Hearts.

We had so much fun celebrating the 100th day of school this past Monday!
