Focus on Curriculum
March 8, 2019
Jolly Phonics: We have completed
all our jolly phonics sounds. Now we know the sounds of the letters and letter
combinations: s, a, t, i, p, n, c, k, e, r, h, m, d, g, o, u, l, f, b,
j, oa, ie, ee, or,oo, ch, sh, ng, th, ou, qu, ue, oi, er, ar, z, w, v, y, and
z. 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 have learned this year. It is for your reference so you can
practice with your children each letter and the sound of that letter.
Reading: This week we read Everything Spring and In Like a Lion Out Like a Lamb. We talked about spring weather coming in like
a lion and going out like a lamb. We
predicted as a class whether the month of March would have more days with
weather like a lion or a lamb. We had a
class discussion about spring weather.
Word Family’s: We
worked on the ot word family this week.
First we start with the word ending ot and then we add different
letters to the beginning of the word ending ot to make new words. For example, for the ot word family we formed the words (hot, cot, knot etc.)
Sight Words: This
week we learned the sight words are, but, and away and put our
words in our popcorn word bags. 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 worked with addition and subtraction including
number bonds. We also worked with
measurement and data (length, height, weight).
Writing: We
continue focusing on what our writing needs to include. A capital letter to start a sentence, proper
punctuation, space between our words, neatness, and does our writing make
sense?
Social Studies: We read our
Weekly Reader, which focused on spring weather.
Art: The students
really enjoyed making their Lion and Lamb project to celebrate spring coming in
like a lion and going out like a lamb.
