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, 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.
Word Family’s: This week we started a review on all of
the word families we learned this year.
Reading: This week we read Elmer and Elephants by National Geographic for Kids. We labeled the parts of an elephant. We also learned the new vocabulary terms: migration,
herd, drought, instinct, and herbivore.
Writing: We wrote about
Elmer the elephant. We focus on using a capital letter to start
sentences, proper punctuation, spacing between our words, and the neatness of
our writing. We also reread our writing
to make sure it makes sense.
Sight Words: This week we
learned the sight words funny, yellow, and please. Please practice the sight words
with your child at home. The words are
getting difficult.
Math: We were working on
representing numbers using tens and ones.
Art: We completed a baseball craft after seeing
Cougars players at our school today, along with two Mother’s Day projects.
Happy Mother’s Day!
