Agenda for the week

 

Reading/writing  We worked on the letter Kk.  Please continue helping your child write their first and last name at home.  We are continuing with writer’s workshop and are learning how to draw a picture and label it or write about it.   We are learning to stretch our words and write the sounds we here and we are learning to put a period at the end of our sentence. Keep practicing your letters and sounds.DON’T FORGET TO DO READING EGGS AT HOME 3 DAYS A WEEK. I will be giving “hoots” to students who do Reading Eggs at home.  We are learning about characters and setting in our stories. We read several Pete the Cat stories and did some sequencing activities to go along with the story.

 

Math   We are working on numbers from 0-20. Please  have your child work on Math Seeds 3 days a week.  We are working on counting to 20. We are learning to show the value of a number in different ways.  We are using our fingers, ten frames and tally marks to represent a number. We are playing math games in math workshop to help us learn numbers and their values.

Social  Studies  We are learning the difference between goods and services.

Science  We are learning about different kinds of weather.  Next week, we will become weather watchers and forecasters.  We will record and graph the weather for the whole month of December.

Please make sure to empty the green folders each night! It is very difficult and time consuming to locate homework or important notes when the folder is full of papers from the day before. Remember to initial the communication log and feel free to add any notes to me!

Snack   Please remember to send only healthy snacks like fruit, vegetables, and cheese and crackers.
