HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Week of October 30- November 3, 2017

Reading: “Animal Babies” will be the story we are reading this week. This informational text will discuss the special animals that live in grasslands with their babies. Determining the main idea in a story is the reading skill we will use to develop comprehension. Adjectives for colors and shapes will be introduced. The amazing words presented in the story are: calf, cub, joey, grassland, pup, and foal. Three new sight words will be introduced: we, my, and like.

Phonics:  Pp is the letter of the week. The sound we will focus on is /p/ as in penguin. We will practice the sound in the beginning, as well as at the end of words. We are learning to blend letter sounds to read words.

Math: Topic 1 continues this week. The children will learn how to read, write, and count numbers from 1-5 in different arrangements.

Reminders:

- Red Ribbon Week continues through Monday and Tuesday. Wear your pajamas to follow your dreams on Monday and wear red for drug free pride on Tuesday.

- Tuesday, October 31^st will be the PBIS reward day. Lunch is early to accommodate the activities. Children may bring extra snacks for the afternoon.
