Focus on Curriculum
January 18, 2019
Jolly Phonics: This week the class
learned the letter combinations ch and sh.
For the combination ch we pretend we are a train by saying ch,ch,
ch. For the combination sh we pretend a
baby is sleeping and we are quieting the baby.
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, j, ai, oa, ie, ee, or, z, w, v, y, x, oo, ch and
sh. 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: This week we read the book The Snowy Day and
did many activities.
Word Family’s:
This week we started our word families.
We worked on the et word families. First we started with the letters et and then we add different letters to
the beginning of the word to make new words.
For example, for the et word family we formed the words (jet, pet, vet,
etc.)
Sight Words: This
week our sight words were go, so, and no. We are going
to keep our sight words in the front sleeve of our green folder so we can
practice our words at school and at home. Please practice the sight words with your child at
home.
Math: We continued counting to 100 by ones and tens. We continued learning about addition and
subtraction with the focus on one more or one less, along with two parts being
put together to equal one whole.
Social Studies: Our Weekly reader
focused on Dr. Martin Luther King
