Focus on Curriculum
October 16, 2015
Jolly Phonics: This week we
learned the letters o and u. For the
letter o we pretend we are turning a light switch on and off. To make the sound of the letter u we pretend
that we are opening an umbrella. We know the sounds of the letters: s,
a, t, p, n, c, k, i, e, h, r, m, d, g, o, and u. 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 Apples,
Apples, Apples. We did many
activities that centered on the story.
We learned the definitions of orchard, limb, chart, seed, flesh, skin,
core, stem, and leaf. We did an apple project in which we
colored and labeled the parts of an apple.
We read our very own small book Thanksgiving Dinner focusing on our popcorn word on. We also added the poem Apples, Apples
to our poetry binders.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words on and we and put
them in our popcorn bags. We are going
to keep our popcorn bags 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 the word we.
Handwriting: We worked in our handwriting books focusing
on the letter A both upper and lowercase letters.
Math: We talked about reading, writing, and counting the numbers
6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. We even competed one
of our math lessons using the chalk draw app on our Ipads.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on pumpkins and all the uses of pumpkins.
Art: We made an apple
project in which we chose an apple and glued a stem leaf, and silly eyes on.
