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 ends in un. The students came up with (sun,
fun, bun etc.)
Reading: This week in
celebration of Earth Day we read Miss
Fox’s Class Goes Green and read How to Help the Earth by the Lorax.
Writing: We wrote about how
we can help the Earth and go green ourselves. In our journals 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 journals we have a check list to double
check our writing.
Sight Words: This
week we learned the sight words who, what, where and white. 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. The words are getting difficult.
Math: We worked on grouping tens and ones and then adding them together to find
out how many in all. We also continued working with number bonds
Art: We made an Earth Day project using coffee
filters and markers
