Happy 100th Day!
Focus on Curriculum
February 8, 2019
Jolly Phonics: This week the class
learned the letter combinations of ue and oi.
For oi we say, “Ship ahoy”. We
also learned that oy makes the same sound as oi. 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, j, ai,
oa, ie, ee, or, z, w, v, y, x, oo, ch, sh, th, ng, qu, ou, oi, and oi. 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: 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 it word family this week.
First we started with the word ending it and then we add
different letters to the beginning of the word ending it to make new
words. For example, for the it word
family we formed the words (hit, sit, pit, knit etc.)
Sight Words:
This week we learned the words have, our, out, saw, all, do. 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 continue working on addition. 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 a craft that focused on the book The Day it Rained Hearts.
We had so much fun celebrating the
100th day of school this past Thursday!
