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 about winter.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words the, you, and down
and cut out our words and put them 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.
Handwriting: We continued writing
in our journals.
Math: We continued counting to 100 by ones and tens. We started our shapes unit. We discussed the terms; (sides, corners, and
vertices) Our center activities have a winter theme.
