Focus on Curriculum
October 9, 2015
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, i, 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 Disney Halloween stories
and In 1492 by Jean Marzollo because of Columbus Day on Monday.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words run and at and put
the words in our popcorn word bags. We
are going to keep our popcorn word 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 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.
Art: We made a fall tree using different colors
of construction paper to represent the changing fall leaves.
