Below is what we will be focusing on in class:
Reading:
We will be reading the book Miss Nelson Has a Field Day by Karen Beaumont. I chose this book to get us excited about Tuesday's Play Day. :) We will be discussing the meaning of words in the text,
along with the main topics of the story. Plus we will sequence the events and discuss various Author/ Illustrator type questions (Why did the author right the words "rushed the ball" or why did the illustrator choose that picture for this text?) Our
Word Family is
the -and
family, our blend is sh-, our vowel focus is letter u (short sound &
long sound) and our new Sight Words are than, way, could, may, these. (This is the ending of our sight words. The rest of the year will just be a review of the words.) Here is a link to the sh- blend power point I made. :)
At home, read your child a book and ask them about the vocabulary in the text. Then discuss the main topic of the text and ask them author/ illustrator type questions.
Writing: We are beginning our Kindergarten Memory Books. :) (I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!! It's great to hear the students responses about the teachers, field trips and holiday activity days.)
At home, please remind your child even to apply all the writing skills they have learned through out the year: spaces, capitalization, punctuation, using their sounds/ blends and sight words!
At home, discuss the animals with your child. Ask them to tell you the steps for making the animal heads. :) Then ask them/ teach them facts about Africa.
Math: We are going back to composing and decomposing numbers. This time around our numbers are larger~ 11-19. When discussing the numbers, your child will be asked to make a number by having the ten frame and then ask how many ones are needed.
At home, go over the same type of questions with your child. If your child is having trouble go back to composing and decomposing up to 10. Then when they seem more comfortable with the process, go on to the larger numbers.
