~This week in Phonics we will be learning the letter Bb and its sound as in boys and bells. Start looking for your Show & Tell!
~We will continue with the Reading story, Whose Garden Is It? By Mary Ann Hoberman. It is a rhyming story about gardens and plants and we will be discussing more with realism and fantasy. After this story, we will have completed Unit 2 and will take our end of the unit booklet test.
~In Math we will be working on Chapter 7: Number Patterns. Students will be learning to count orally to 100. They will learn to count by ones, twos, fives, and tens, and will also learn about odd and even numbers. Continue to practice counting sets and writing numbers to 30.
~The second marking period will be ending the week of the 18th and we will begin testing for report cards this week. Students will be asked to write correctly their first and last names, numbers 0-10, and capital and lowercase letters learned (a, b, f, g, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, and t). They will need to identify letter sounds, numbers 0-20, count orally to 30, basic shapes, and rhyming words. Students will be asked to blend 2, 3, and 4 letter words and read some learned high frequency sight words (a, I, the, is, to, am, little, have, for, my, he, like, we, of, one, two, love, you, do, and are). Please review these skills with your child.
