Focus on Curriculum

Jolly Phonics: This week I
introduced the letter combination ch and sh.
For the combination ch we pretend we are a train by saying ch,ch,
ch. For the combination sh we pretend a
baby is sleeping and we are quieting the baby.
Now we know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, i, p, n, c, k, e,
r, h, m, d, g, o, u, l, f, b, j, ai, oa, ie, ee, or, z, w, v, y, x, oo, ch and
sh. 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: This week we read The Relatives Came and
winter books, sharing all our thoughts with all the cold weather and snow we
have had lately.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words the, you, and down
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.
Handwriting: We continued
writing in our journals. We also wrote about our winter break and a snowman.
Math: We continued counting to 100 by ones and tens. We continued our addition unit. Our center
activities have a winter theme.
Stay Safe and Warm!
