Focus on Curriculum
September 9, 2016
Jolly Phonics:
This week we learned the letters i and p. We pretend we are Inky the Mouse and are
itching our whiskers and saying the sound of short i. To make the sound of the letter p we pretend
we are puffing out birthday candles. We know the sounds of the letters:
s, a, t, i, and p. 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 I Like
Me. We did many activities that
centered on the story. We talked about how
we are special, different, and unique.
We also read I’m Special, I’m Me!
Sight Words: This week we learned the words I and
it. Our rainbow words will be going
home next week. We are going to keep our
words in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at
school and at home. We worked ona sight
word make a match activity.
Math: We worked on counting 4 and 5 in different arrangements
and reading and writing the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. We learned The Numeral Song by Dr.Jean. We
completed a number song packet to help us learn how to write our numbers
from zero through ten.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on staying healthy at school.
Art: We completed a
mirror project to go along with our story I
Like Me!
