Focus on Curriculum
March 11, 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 Everything Spring. We talked about spring weather coming in like
a lion and going out like a lamb. We
predicted as a class whether the month of March would have more days with
weather like a lion or a lamb. We had a
class discussion about spring weather.
Word Family’s: We
worked on the it word family this week.
First we start with the word ending it and then we add different
letters to the beginning of the word ending it to make new words. For example, for the it word family we formed the words (hit, bit, knit, kit etc.)
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words went, soon, and come
and put our 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. Please practice the popcorn words with your child at home.
Math: We continued counting to 100 by ones and tens. We continued working with measurement and
data(length, height, weight). We also
classified shapes.
Writing: We
also wrote in our writing journals. We
discussed the 5 Stars to Writing. A
capital letter to start a sentence, proper punctuation, space between our
words, neatness, and does our writing make sense?
Social Studies: We read our
Weekly Reader, which focused on spring weather coming in like a lion and out
like a lamb.
Art: The students
really enjoyed making their Lion and Lamb project to celebrate spring coming in
like a lion and going out like a lamb.
