Veteran’s Day!
Focus on Curriculum
November 10, 2017
Jolly Phonics: This week I
introduced the letters oa and ie (vowel combination) together. For oa we say “oh” and ie we pretend we are
saluting saying, “aye aye captain”. We
learned when two vowels go walking the first vowel does the talking; saying its
name, and the second vowel is quite. Now
we know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, i, p, n, c, k, e, r, h, m, d, g,
o, u, l, f, b, j, ai, oa, and ie. 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 continued to
work with the book From Seed to Pumpkin and Pumpkin Pumpkin. We
also completed our very own Veteran’s Day book in honor of the men and women
who serve our country and have served our country.
Popcorn Words:
This week we learned the words but and to. We are going to keep our sight word bags in
the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and
at home.
Math: We started Unit 3 Making 10, counting to 15 and story
problems. We continue counting everyday
in class focusing on our end of the year goal of counting to 100. Our math centers had a fall and turkey theme.
Social Studies: We talked about
Veteran’s Day and completed Veteran’s Day activities, including a Veteran's Day
flip book and even wrote a letter to a veteran.
It was a very special Veteran’s Day for us.
