We will be working to produce rhyming words in addition to identifying them.
We have several wonderful books that we will be reading this week: Tap the Magic Tree, Bear Feels Sick, Little Tree, and A Tree For All Seasons.
We will be using an OWL chart (Observations- Wonderings- and Learnings) in science to record our thoughts about the changing seasons.
In math, we will continue to work with the concepts of More and Less. We will also be working with patterning.
The local Firefighters are scheduled to come visit us this week!
I was very impressed last week with how well the students are undertaking the roles of listener and speaker!
As most of the class is finishing up learning all their letter names and sounds, I encourage you to keep studying with them at home. Being able to recognize the letter and the sound it makes (automatically, without having to think or guess) will help them immensely when we start our reading strategies and learning how to decode words.
HOMEWORK
Reading:
10 minutes each night. Reading can include reading stories, the poems in the binder, sight words, and working on alphabet sounds and letter names. I strongly recommend having your child sing and act the Zoo Phonics song with you. These animals serve as fun anchors to the all important letters and sounds that we use so much!
Math:
Remember, math should be done for 10 minutes.
Monday- G.3 Fewer and more - compare by counting
