Focus on Curriculum
September 21, 2018
Jolly Phonics: This week we learned the letters i and
p. We pretend we are Inky the Mouse and
are itching our whiskers and saying the sound of short i. To make the sound of the letter p we pretend
we are puffing out birthday candles. We know the sounds of the letters:
s, a, t, i, and p. 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 Pete the
Cat Rocking in my School Shoes. We
did many activities that centered on the story.
We also read many other Pete the
Cat books.
Sight Words:
This week we learned the words can
and see. We read our very own small book titled Outside that focused on our sight words
I, see, a and our very own Pete The Cat book. Please
review your sight words nightly.
Handwriting: We worked on writing the letters i and p
both uppercase and lowercase.
Social Studies: Our Weekly Reader focused on apples and the
apple orchard.
Math: We continued working with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Art: We made a Pete the Cat project showing him
rocking in his shoes!
