Focus on Curriculum
February 26, 2016
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.
Reading: This week we read the book Bears Loose Tooth.
We learned
the vocabulary words: savored, frowned, welled, gulped, and nibbled. We also watched The Berenstain Bears Go to the Dentist.
Word Family’s: We
worked on the en word family this week.
First we started with the word ending en and then we add
different letters to the beginning of the word ending en to make new
words. For example, for the en word
family we formed the words (Ben, men, pen, etc.)
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words four, five, and said
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. Please practice the popcorn words with your child at home.
Math: We continued counting to 100 by ones and tens. We worked on positional words.
Writing:
We
wrote in our journals. Each day we write
the students are becoming more confident in their writing skills and are more
eager to share their experiences, thoughts and ideas. The students then had a
chance to share their work with their classmates.
Social Studies: We focused on crocodiles. We even had our school nurse talk to the
kindergarten students about the importance of dental health and brushing and
flossing our teeth.
Art: In class we made a Teddy Bear project that tied into our
story for the week. Bear’s Loose Tooth!
Next week is Dr. Seuss
week in kindergarten. Please be sure to

planned for each day!
