Focus on Curriculum
October 3, 2014
Jolly Phonics: This week we
learned the letters r and m. For the
letter r we pretend we are Rags the dog and say r,r,r,r. To make the sound of the letter m we pretend
we are hungry and see a yummy meal and we say m,m,m,m,m. We know the
sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k, I e, h, r and m. 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 Miss
Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip With Kindergarten. We did many activities that centered on the
story. We learned the definitions of chaperone,
post office, bakery and steers. We also
read Tony Baloney Pen Pal. We
completed a Me On The Map Project in which we had the opportunity to
talk about ourselves and the community we live in.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words like and up 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. The next set of four popcorn words went home
on Thursday. You may use the words how
you wish.
Handwriting: We worked in our handwriting books focusing
on the letter T both upper and lowercase letters.
Math: We talked about reading and writing the number zero,
ordering numbers from 0-5, and problem solving using objects.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on where we can find pumpkins since the fall season is
upon us.
Special Guest: A
fire fighter came in to school and talked to the students about fire safety
with October being fire safety month.
