Maps!






Focus on Curriculum     

September 28, 2018

Jolly Phonics:  This week we learned the letters n, c, and k.  For the letter n we pretend we are flying a plane.  To make the sound of the letters c and k we pretend we are playing the castanets. We know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, p, n, c, k and i.  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 read Me On The Map.  We did many activities that centered on the story.  We learned what a map, town, state and country is. 
Sight Words:  We learned the words like and to.  We are keeping our rainbow word bags in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and at home. 
Handwriting: We wrote in our journals “This is a map of my room,” focusing on our sight words a and my and connecting that to our Me On The Map book.
Math: We talked about shapes (triangles, squares, rectangles, circles).  We talked about how many sides and corners each shape has.  We also continued practicing writing our numbers.
Art:  We made a flip book that included our world, continent, country, state, town, and school.
