Literacy unit: Families Change

This a Review Week!

Reading: We are reading these stories: Peters Chair, We munch on Lunch, Jennifer Bing why don’t you sing?, Rooster goes to Tio’s wedding.

Strategies from our CAFE menu

• Expanding vocabulary-Reading from left to right, Reading from top to bottom, Read from the left page and move to the right page
• Comprehension- identifying characters, setting (goal)
• Fluency: Recognize sight words: I we, the, can, recognize letters Aa-Zz

Review Letters of the week: Aa/Mm – children will be coming home with an Aa/Mm Book they created.

Sight words Review: I, can, we, can

Writing: We will be practicing writing all the letters correctly. We will also practice writing sentences using our sight words: I, can, we, the. We will tie in reflecting about what we used to do when we are little and what we can do now  in our journals. Encourage your child to share. We will also be making lists.

Math:  We will continue to count everything. we are now writing number 0-10. Your child should be writing numbers correctly and able to give you the next number. We are now working on number 0-15 orally. We will also play games like spin a number. We will also be reviewing basic patterns and be looking for them all around.

Science:  We will review the 5 senses. (sight, touch, hearing, taste, smell). We will 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.

Social Studies: we are discussing how people change over time. Please send in a picture of your child as a baby. We will discuss what they used to do as a baby and what they could do now.  We will create a list of things, the picture will be a good concrete thing to refer to.
