Focus on Curriculum April
27, 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.
Word Family’s: This week we worked on our short o family ob.
We thought of words as a class that end in ob. The students came up with (knob,
cob, job etc.)
Reading: This week we read Chicks N’ Salsa to continue our animal
unit. We worked on a class research
project on horses since we are focusing on animals, in particular, farm animals
this week. We read our very own small
books On The Farm With My Friends!
Writing: We continue writing
daily. 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.
On each page of our writing we have a check list to double check our
writing.
