March 23, 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 Seed to Plant, The Carrot Seed, Little Quack, You’re My Little Bunny, and Hey Duck!

Word Family’s:  We worked on the ig word family this week.  First we start with the word ending ig and then we add different letters to the beginning of the word ending ig to make new words.  For example, for the ig word family we formed the words (wig, pig, twig, big etc.)

Sight  Words:  This week we learned the sight words who, what, and where.  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 continued counting to 100 by ones and tens.  We worked on addition by grouping in tens and ones. Then finding out how many we had all together.

Writing:  We wrote about the Star Student of the Week.  We also wrote in our writing journal. We wrote about creating a wheelbarrow, ladder, and trap to catch a leprechaun.  We made sure to label our pictures.  We also played a consonant-vowel-consonant game where the students had to search the room for pots of gold that had a picture on them.  The students then had an answer sheet where they had to write the correct word in the corresponding spot.  Lastly, the students then read back the correct responses to the class.  For example (I like my hat.)

Art:  The students really enjoyed making their very own Leprechaun and saying if they caught a leprechaun how they would get his gold.  We also made traps to catch a leprechaun.  All of the St. Patrick’s Day projects turned out great.  Parents you should be very proud of your children.
