Handwriting Without Tears: We wrote the letters R, N, and M in our
handwriting book.
Jolly Phonics:
This week we learned the letters e and h. For the letter e we pretend we are breaking eggs. To make the sound of the letters h we pretend
we just finished running and are out of breath and we say h,h,h,h,h.. We
know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k, I e, and h. 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: We continued our
Unit One. This week we concentrated on
a story titled Flower Garden, which follows a little girl who makes a
window box full of flowers for her mother’s birthday. We talked about how we have done nice things for others and how
we felt when we do nice things for others.
We also read the story Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come! and Apples
A-Z since fall has just started and apple season is upon us.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn word in and glued it in our
spirals. We wrote in our small in books. We also read another small book called The
Fall Basket. Our spirals are going
home today. We are going to keep our
spirals in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at
school and at home. Please remind your
child to bring their popcorn word spirals to school everyday.
Math: We continued our counting unit. We continued practicing counting to 20. We wrote our numbers 7 and 8 this week. We practiced counting with apple math activities.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Readers focused on bats and what makes them unique. Our other weekly reader focused on the fact
that no two people are the same and how we are all different from others in our
very own special ways.
Remember:
Do not forgot to place your Scholastic book orders.
Bring Library Books on Mondays and Tuesdays
We have gym everyday.
Please remember your gym shoes.
Please check the green folder daily.
Turn in Box Tops to earn money for our school!- The class with the most box tops wins a
pizza party at the end of the year.
