Week two
- 1. December 15, 2017 . Our week o This week in Reading, the students were introduced to the consonant sound of /c/ and our new high frequency words “are, to”. Also, we identified and recalled story details, practiced opposites and reviewedfantasy and reality. o Students practiced printing the uppercase and lowercase letter Cc, and the full name. o In Math, we are working on different combinations that make ten. Using the linking cubes helps but it is a difficult concept. Students are also trying to match number cards to fill the 100 chart! o One of our main goals is to get students to talk about stories. Verbalize who the characters are and where/when the story takes place. Is there a problem or solution? Identify the beginning, middle and end. *Reminders* Continue to follow the December calendar and don’t forget to participate in our themed days. Please send in items for our Christmas Present Opening in before Wednesday. Don’t forget to bring slippers or robes/pjs for Polar Express Day as described in the letter. With the weather getting colder, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. On nice days, we will go outside for recess. It’s important that they are dressed appropriately! We have gym starting December 20th . Your child may leave sneakers in the cubby or bookbag to make sure they can participate! Rest time items will come home over the Christmas break to be laundered. Coming Up: o Next week in Reading, the students will be working with the short vowel /o/. o Students will continue printing practice with their full name and some high frequency words. o In Math, we will hopefully get more done! We will be dice rolling with two dice and counting/recording. o In Science, we will learn about animals and habitats. o Students will work on writing using sounds they hear, spacing between words, and writing complete sentences during Kid Writing.
