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.
Word Family’s: This week we worked on our short i family ip.
Reading: This week we read Flower Garden. We completed a writing activity writing
out the steps and illustrating how to plant a flower garden. We added the poem Sunflower Song to our poetry binder.
Writing: We continued writing
in our writing journals. In our journals
we focus on using a capital letter to start sentences, proper punctuation,
spacing between our words, and the neatness of our writing. We also reread our writing to make sure it
makes sense. We wrote about what we did
over spring break.
Sight Words: This
week we learned the sight words they, say, play and away. We now have seventy-one words and they are: I, a, it, in, see, big, my,
like, up, run, on, at, we, me, am, did, not, is, can, but, to, too, ran, into,
for, little, and, yes, go, no, so, the, you, down, he, she, be, her, our, out,
get, help, now, look, good, jump, will, have, must, one, two, three, four,
nine, said, this, that, new, soon, went, come, do, all, there, who, what,
where, they, say, play, away. We
are going to keep our popcorn bags in the front sleeve of our green folder so
we can practice our words at school and at home. Please practice the popcorn words
with your child at home. The words are
getting difficult.
Math: We continued to group numbers by tens and ones. Then adding the numbers together to find out
how many in all.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on healthy eating.
Art: We completed a flower project.
