11\/30 PBIS Celebration \u2013 Jazz Band<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agenda for the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Letters: <\/strong>This week we focused on the letters Jj and Qq. We talked about the sounds they make, brainstormed things that begin with each letter, and spent time practicing the proper formation of each letter. These letters will show up on next week\u2019s homework for a handwriting review.<\/p>\n

Reading\/Writing: <\/strong>We reviewed nouns, verbs, and adjectives. We continue to stretch our sentences by adding more details through the use of describing the noun (the adjective) and telling what the noun is doing (the verb). Some of the children are even working on stretching their sentence to tell where the noun is (the setting).<\/p>\n

Please continue to have your child practice writing at home. Here is what I am looking for in class:<\/p>\n

Uppercase to start the sentence<\/p>\n

End punctuation (. ! ?)<\/p>\n

Finger spaces between words<\/p>\n

Does the sentence make sense? Are the words in the correct order?<\/p>\n

Does the picture match the words?<\/p>\n

Did you stretch your sentence? (Is there a noun, adjective, and verb?)<\/p>\n

Math: <\/strong>This week for math we reviewed sequencing numbers. The children know that sequence means to put in order. Most of the children are great and ordering numbers 0 \u2013 10, but are struggling with numbers 11 \u2013 20 and beyond.\u00a0 We also practiced more of our patterning using Thanksgiving pictures to cut and glue the pictures in the correct pattern sequence.<\/p>\n

Please continue to practice counting by 1’s, 5’s, and 10’s to 100 with your child at home. Also practice counting to 30 by 2\u2019s (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20\u2026..).\u00a0 Other activities you can practice at home are using tally marks to count objects, identifying 2D\/3D shapes around the house of community, and really making sure your child has good one-to-one correspondence when counting (this means that they touch each object as they are counting and count all objects correctly).<\/p>\n

Social Studies:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>We continued learning about the concept of needs and wants. We watched a short video about what a need and a want is. Next week we will do a\u00a0cut and paste activity where the children have to identify what the picture was and if it was showing a need or a want. Then they will glue the picture in the correct column on a t-chart.<\/p>\n

Science: <\/strong>I introduced the concept of push and pull with a simple worksheet where the children had to identify if the picture was showing push or pull and then write the word underneath. We did this together as a class and the children did well.<\/p>\n

Housekeeping Items:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Please make sure to record the reading that you do with your child each night on the reading log in the homework.<\/p>\n

Please make sure to\u00a0empty\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
