Literacy unit: Start Smart-You are special

Reading: We are reading these 3 stories: Hands Can, I measure myself, and The Gingerbread Boy

Strategy: Comprehension- Understanding what was read

Sight words: I, can

We have introduced Read to Self- a component of Daily 5. We created a chart of the expectation for their behavior. We have started at 3 minutes. You may also send in your child’s favorite book, so they can add to their book box. This is an opportunity to enjoy reading independently.

Writing: We will start writing sentences starting with I can. We will talk about what a good sentence looks like. We will also be creating an All About Me Book.

Math: We are counting, counting and more counting!! We will explore how to sort, count and order numbers. We will hear and count. We will even create a birthday graph and count how many birthdays in each month. We will also be creating a number book.

Social Studies: We will discuss constitution day and why it is important to follow rules.

Science: we will do an investigation about germs. We will discuss how to stay clean and how to prevent from getting sick.
