Focus on Curriculum June
1, 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 u family ug.
We thought of words, as a class, which ends in ug. The students came up with (rug,
tug, mug etc.)
Reading:
This week we read What
Would You Do with a Tail like This?
We learned the new vocabulary terms: pesky, warn, squirted, scoop, leap,
and capture. We also read King of
The Zoo and many other fun
children’s books. Our poetry binders will be coming home this
week.
Writing: We wrote in our memory books which we brought
home this week. We continued writing in our new 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. On each page of our writing
journals we have a check list to double check our writing.
Sight Words: This week reviewed all of our sight words. We
now have ninety five 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, here, 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,
eat, please, want, with, came, ate, make, ride, was, are, saw, well, pretty,
funny, under, find, blue, yellow, red, pink, black, orange, white, brown .
Math: We played many fun
math games reviewing all the concepts we learned this year. Please continue practicing reading and
writing numbers 1 through 20. Please
continue to practice addition facts that add up to ten along with subtracting
numbers up to ten.
We welcomed children’s songwriter Jim Gill to school on
Tuesday put on a private concert for the kindergarten class.
Thank you to all the parents who helped out
in our class throughout the year. I was
so happy to work with such a great group of students all year. I hope everyone and his or her family has a
very safe and happy summer!
Thank
you to all for the great year!
Remember:
Last
Day of School is Monday June 4th-Half Day!
