Week of September 24-28, 2018

Reading: “Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip” is our new story. This animal fantasy is used to discuss how people in a community cooperate. In order to build comprehension, we will learn how to classify and categorize. This will help us understand how things are alike in a story.  This week’s Amazing Words are: bakery, park, library, fire station, post office, and chaperone. We will be reading the sight words: I, am, at, the, little, yes, and no.

Phonics: We are focusing on beginning sounds in words this week. We will also keep practicing breaking words apart into syllables, as well as blending syllables to make words. Rhyming is being taught daily. The letters of the week are: Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy, and Zz.

Math: Numbers 0-10 will continue this week. Students are practicing how to read, write, and count these numbers. We are counting forward and backward, using five frames, ten frames, and number lines.

Science: We are beginning observations to learn about the world around us. We will start by observing apples for the start of fall.
