Week of October 3-7, 2016

Reading: “Smash! Crash!” is the title of this week’s story. The characters in this fantasy are vehicles that interact with each other. This selection will encourage students to discuss activities they do with their friends. To build story comprehension, we will focus on characters. Nouns will also be introduced this week. The amazing words presented are: signals, dud, proper, pirates, perfect, and fabulous. New sight words will be taught: a and to.

 Phonics: We are beginning to focus on individual letters and sounds. The first sound we will learn is /m/, which is made by letter Mm. We will practice initial sounds, ending sounds, blending, and discriminating words that contain the same sound.

 Math:  We just began Topic 16 (Analyzing, Comparing, and Composing Shapes). Lessons will include objects that are the same size and same shape, making shapes from other shapes, comparing solid figures, and building with solid figures.

Reminders:

- Please complete homework, practice letters, and review sight words daily.

- Spirit week will accompany North Schuylkill’s homecoming. Please check your child’s folder for special events.

* Thursday, October 6^th is the Kindergarten Fall Festival. Socks and sneakers would be the best footwear for this event!

* Monday is Day 4 on the rotation schedule!

  Have a “fabulous” week!
