Focus on Curriculum
January 11, 2019
Jolly Phonics: This week the class
learned the letter combination of oo.
For oo we pretend that we are a clock saying oo-oo. 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, and oo. 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 Winter Wonderland
a National Geographic Kids book and
Snow. We also discussed the
difference between non-fiction and fiction books.
Popcorn Words: This
week we learned the sight words make, ride, and down. 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.
Writing:
We
wrote about our winter break and some of the fun activities we participated in
over break.
Social
Studies: We read
our Weekly Reader that focused on making snowmen! So much fun!
Art: We completed a winter
project making a craft of kids catching snowflakes.
