Focus on Curriculum
October 21, 2016
Jolly Phonics: This week we
learned the letters l and f. For the
letter l we pretend we are licking a lollipop.
To make the sound of the letter f we pretend that we are squeezing the
air out of an inflatable fish. We know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p,
n, c, k, i, e, h, r, m, d, g, o, u, l, and f.
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 the book The
Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin.
We did many activities that centered on the story. We also read Disney Scary Stories. Lastly, we added the poems Jack-O-Lantern
to our poetry binders.
Popcorn Words: This
week we added the sight words me and am and put them on our word
ring We completed make-a- match activities focusing on the word am and me.
Handwriting: We worked in our
journals making sure our pictures matched our words.
Math: We talked about reading, writing, and counting the numbers
up to 10. We also focused at looking for
patterns. We continue counting everyday
in class focusing on our end of trimester goal of counting to 50. Our math centers had a Halloween theme.
Art: We made a
Spookley pumpkin project
