Fun at the farm!


Fun At The Farm!
                   

Focus on Curriculum               April 26, 2019

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.
Word Family’s: This week we worked on our short u family un.  We thought of words as a class that end in un. The students came up with (sun, fun, bun, etc.)
Reading:  This week we read Chicks N’ Salsa to continue our animal unit.  We worked on a class research project focusing on animals, in particular, farm animals this week. 
Writing:  We continue writing daily.  We focus on using a capital letter to start sentences, proper punctuation, spacing between our words, and the neatness of our writing.  We also reread our writing to make sure it makes sense.  On each page of our writing we have a check list to double check our writing. 
Popcorn Words: This week we learned the sight words not, said, want and brown. Please practice the sight words with your child at home.  The words are getting difficult.
Math:  We continued working on number bonds both addition and subtraction.
Social Studies:  Our Weekly Reader focused on the planet Earth with this past Monday being Earth Day!.
Art:  We made a Chicks and Salsa Project!
