Focus on Curriculum
October 10, 2014
Jolly Phonics: This week we
learned the letters d and g. For the
letter d we pretend we are playing the drums.
To make the sound of the letter g we pretend that water is gurgling down
the drain. We know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k, I e,
h, r, m, d, and g. 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 read When
Autumn Comes. We did many
activities that centered on the story.
We learned the definitions of autumn, ripened, harvest, and
preparation. We also read Curious
George stories, In 1492 by Jean Marzollo and Naughty Little Monkeys by Jim Aylesworth, one of
my favorite authors. We read our
very own Animals At Night book, which focused on our popcorn word
at.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words run and at and
glued our words in our popcorn word ring.
We are going to keep our popcorn word rings in the front sleeve of our
green folder so we can practice our words at school and at home. We completed make a match activities
focusing on run and at.
Handwriting: We worked in our handwriting books focusing
on the letter o both upper and lowercase letters.
Math: We talked about reading, writing, and counting the numbers
6, 7, 8, and 9.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on fire safety.
We also talked about Christopher Columbus discovering America. We also
completed a Columbus color by number.
