Letters of the week: Ss. We will be making lists of things that begin with the letter Ss. Please discuss things that begin with the letters Mm, Aa and Ss.
Sight words: like Review: I, can, we, can
Writing: We will be practicing writing all the letters correctly. We will also practice writing sentences. We have been discussing what a good sentence looks like. It begins with a capital, there is space between the words, and it ends with an end mark. Our focus will be opinion writing. We will be creating an I like book.
Math: We will continue to count everything. we are now writing number 0-15. Your child should be writing numbers correctly and able to give you the next number. We are now working on number 0-20 orally. We will focus on tricky teens. We have been singing this song:
1 and 1 make 11 fun,
1 and a 2 tell 12 what to do,
1 and a 3 tell 13 climb a tree,
1 and a 4 tell 14 shut the door,
1 and a 5 keep 15 alive,
1 and a 6 tell 16 pick up sticks,
1 and a 7 send 17 to heaven,
1 and a 8 makes 18 great,
1 and a 9 keep 19 in line
2 and a 0 makes 20 a hero!
Science: We will continue to explore the fall seasons. We will look at leaves and discuss why they are changing. We will do leaf rubbings. We will focus on the fall colors which are: red, yellow, orange and red. We will work on how to document in our science journal or findings.
Social Studies: We will be doing cooperative activities to reinforce team building within our classroom and within our table groups. Cooperation is our key word here!
