Focus on Curriculum June 6, 2014
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, 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 reviewed the short vowel word
families.
Reading: This week we read King
of The Zoo. We also read many other
fun children’s books. We also added a
new poem called Field Trip to our poetry binders, which will be coming
home next week.
Writing: We continued writing in our new writing
journals. 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.
Popcorn Words:
This week reviewed all of our popcorn words. We now have ninety five
words and they are:
I, a, it, in, see, big, my, like, up, run, on, at, we, me, am, did, not, is,
can, but, to, too, ran, into, for, little, and, yes, go, no, so, the, you,
down, he, she, be, here, our, out, get, help, now, look, good, jump, will,
have, must, one, two, three, four, nine, said, this, that, new, soon, went,

want, with, came, ate, make, ride, was, are, saw, well, pretty, funny, under,
find, blue, yellow, red, pink, black, orange, white, brown . 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. Please practice the popcorn words with your child at
home.
Math: We continued working
on a combination of addition problems and subtraction problems at the same
time. We worked on addition and
subtraction up to and from 18. We also
played golf addition and subtraction games.
Please continue practicing reading and writing numbers 1 through
20. Please continue to practice
addition facts that add up to ten along with subtracting numbers up to ten.
Social Studies: Our
weekly reader was about summer safety.
Thank you to all the parents who helped out with our
field trip to the zoo. The children had
a great time.
Thank you to all the parents who helped out
in our class throughout the year. I was
so happy to work with such a great group of students all year. I hope everyone and his or her family has a
very safe and happy summer!
Thank you to all for the great year!
