Fall season is officially here! The leaves are changing and the weather is cooler. It feels great!

We continue our unit in week 2:

What are some things that you do with your family?

C.A.F.E. Strategies:

  • Comprehension-predictions, setting

  • Fluency- recognizing upper/lower case letters, recognizing sight words
  • Expanding Vocabulary- Identifying the front/back cover, know to read/write from left to right.

Writing: We will be forming the letters we have learned correctly. We will also continue practicing to write a sentence using the sight words and drawing pictures.

Math: We’ll be using 10 Frames- a rectangle with 5 boxes on the top row and 5 boxes underneath. For example,  we’ll put tokens in 4 boxes and decide how many more we would need to make 10.  4 + ? = 10.

Science: We’ll be exploring the 5 Senses.  Monday we’ll start with “Touch.”
