Focus on Curriculum
March 24, 2017
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 Seed to Plant and did a project with
lima beans. We are going to see if they
sprout over spring break!
Word Family’s: We
worked on the ig word family this week.
First we start with the word ending ig and then we add different
letters to the beginning of the word ending ig to make new words. For example, for the ig word family we formed the words (wig, pig, twig, big etc.
Sight Words: This week we learned the sight words who,
what, and where. We are going to keep our sight words in the
front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and at
home. Please practice the sight words with your child at
home.
Math: We continued counting to 100 by ones and tens. We worked on addition and used number lines
to help us add two numbers together.
Writing:
We wrote
in our writing journals. In our writing
journals we continue using our 5 Stars to Writing.
Art: The students
really enjoyed making a flower project that shows the parts of a flower.
