Happy Friday! What a great week we had learning and having fun. Here's a couple quick things for next week. Tuesday 09/24 is picture day, our pictures are early in the morning to avoid sweaty recess face! Friday 09/27 is Grandparents Day! The morning will begin in the gym with refreshments to be enjoyed with Grandparents. Following that, Grandparents will be escorted by their grandchild to their classroom for an activity. We hope you will join us in making some great memories! The Daddy/Daughter dance is this Saturday, I look forward to seeing you there from 5:30-8:30.
Spalding: This week we will finish out the first 26 phonograms by teaching w, x, y, and z. We will continue to review previous taught phonograms and our test on Friday will cover any of the first 16 phonograms. We will also continue to work on word sounds and syllables. You can easily do this at home with your child as practice. Give your child a simple CVC (consonant/vowel/consonant) words; can, dog, mat, etc. Ask your child to give each sound of the word. It is especially important that they are able to give you the beginning sound of the word, but we are working hard on identifying the middle and end sound as well.
Sight Words:We will take this week to review list #1. Please continue to practice each night with your child. We will test over list #2 this week as well. Thank you for your support in making fluent readers!
Literature: We continue to explore fables this week by reading the Tortoise and the Hare. We will learn the importance of the the moral “Slow and Steady Wins the Race,” and discuss the virtue of perseverance. Our weekly poem will be Little Turtle.
Math: This week will continue to work with numbers 1-10 focusing on number order. Students will practice counting and writing in ascending and descending order. We will work on finding the missing number in a sequence and identifying numbers that are 1 more/less. For example students will say, “ 4 is 1 more than 3; 4 is one less than 5.”
History: Students will be able to give two facts about Betsy Ross, George Washington Carver and the Statue of Liberty. They will gain a better understanding of the Pledge of Allegiance. Students will also be able to recognize and describe Mount Rushmore.
