Week of December 10-14, 2018     

The holiday spirit is in full season. We are getting so excited, yet there is still so much to learn during these busy weeks. We are trying our best to stay focused and meet our goals. Please remind your child each morning about the SPARTY behavior goals, which earn monthly rewards.  

Our Reading story for the week is “Little Quack.” This animal fantasy will focus on plot (The important things that happen in a story). We will read about a duckling that learns new things as he gets older. This gives us the opportunity to discuss verbs that are happening now and in the past. The amazing words presented in the story are: duckling, pond, paddle, plunges, proud, and brave. The targeted sight words are: me, with, and she. (As always, remember to practice sight words daily.)

Our Phonics letter of the week is Rr. The /r/ sound, as in reindeer, will be the focus in our lessons with segmenting, blending, rhyming, and reading words.

Math: Numbers to 20 will continue this week. We are counting, reading, and writing numbers 0-20. Please remember to keep practicing correct number writing. Also practice identifying numbers 0-100 in random order.
