Focus on Curriculum June 5, 2015
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.
Writing: We wrote in and completed our memory books. 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.

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,

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 played many fun
math games reviewing all the concepts we learned this year. 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.
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
