Week of December 14-18, 2015

The anticipation is building. Christmas is right around the corner, and we are getting very excited! While holiday thoughts are in our minds, we still need to focus on the learning process before our well-deserved break.

     This week’s Reading story is an animal fantasy called “Little Quack.” We will concentrate on the plot (what important things happen in the story). Verbs happening now and in the past will also be discussed. The Amazing Words presented in the story are: duckling, pond, paddle, plunges, proud, and brave. The sight word target will be on: me, with, and she.  Our Phonics skills will focus on the consonant Rr, with an /r/ sound, as in rabbit.

     We will complete Topic 3 (Six to Ten) in Math this week. After testing how to count, read, and write numbers 6 through 10, we will begin Topic 4. This theme will compare and order numbers 0 to 10.

REMINDERS:

~ Please remember to have your child dress appropriately for the half-hour outdoor recess we have daily.

~ Keep practicing all sight words daily. Also review letter sounds, and counting to 100. I am seeing great improvements!

Have a remarkable week!
