Week of September 25, 2017

This was a tough weather week for us.  The beginning of the week was so hot that we spent the afternoons in the air conditioned PAC.  We read books with each other and with other classes.  We also worked on recognizing and naming letters of the alphabet by playing Around the World.  Because of the heat we kept the children inside, which meant it was the first opportunity we had to experience indoor recess.  It was great getting out all the building toys and watching how creative and imaginative the kids worked together.

Religion:  This week we continued learning about how God created animals and all his wonderful gifts to us.

Language Arts:  This week we continued working with the /o/ sound at the beginning of a word.  We worked with comparing words that start with /c/ and /o/ sounds.  We are working with recognizing and creating rhyming words.

Math:  This week we continued working on reading, writing and counting to 5.  We also worked on understanding the number zero. This week we took our first test.  We will review your child’s results at our conference next week.  We continued working on reading, writing and counting to 5.  We are doing a great job counting to 50 by 1’s, and counting to 100 by 10’s. 

Science & Social Studies:  This week we enjoyed reading the book I Went Walking by Sue Williams.  We were inspired to take a walk around the block and make observations in order to write our own version of the book.  We hope to complete our books next week. 

COMING UP …

Next week a calendar and letter explaining Book It! will be coming home.   Each month a calendar will come home.  Fill in each day that your child reads.  At the end of the month return the calendar (signed) and your child will receive a coupon for a free Pizza Hut personal pan pizza.

Language Arts: Working with words that begin with the G/g/ sound; rhyming words; writing and illustrating a nature book.

Math:  Comparing numbers up to five; understanding greater than/less than.
