Pumpkin Pumpkin!
Focus on Curriculum
November 9, 2018
Jolly Phonics: This week I
introduced the letters b and j. For the
letter b we pretend we are hitting a baseball with a bat and for the letter j
we wiggle like a bowl of Jell-O. Now
we know the sounds of the letters: s, a, t, i, p, n, c, k, e, r, h, m, d, g,
o, u, l, f, b, and j. 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 and worked
with the book Pumpkin Pumpkin. We
completed a pumpkin life cycle activity.
Popcorn Words:
This week we learned the words play and say. We are going to keep our sight word bags in
the front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and
at home.
Handwriting: We wrote our letters j and b in both
uppercase and lowercase.
Math: We continued working with numbers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. We also focused on the concepts of greater
than, more, less than, and fewer. We continue
counting everyday in class focusing on our end of the year goal of counting to
100. Our math centers had a fall and
Turkey theme.
Social Studies: We talked about
Veteran’s Day and completed Veteran’s Day activities including a Veterans Day
coloring picture that we are going to display outside our classroom for the
upcoming Veteran’s Day holiday and for the Veterans that will be visiting our
classes on Monday.
