Focus on Curriculum
February 9, 2018
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, 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 the books The Day It
Rained Hearts and Cloudy With
a Chance of Meatballs!
Word Family’s: We
worked on the ad word family this week.
First we started with the word ending ad and then we add
different letters to the beginning of the word ending ad to make new
words. For example, for the ad word
family we formed the words (mad, dad, lad, bad, etc.)
Sight Words:
This week we learned the words will, have, and must. 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 focused on weight (heavier, lighter) and capacity and
volume. We did 100th Day math,
all in celebration of the 100th day of school.
Writing: Each day we write the students are becoming
more confident in their writing skills and are more eager to share their
experiences, thoughts and ideas.
Art: In class we completed two crafts that focused on the
book The Day it Rained Hearts.
We had so much fun celebrating the
100th day of school this past Monday!
