Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed!

Week of September 30-October 4, 2019

Reading:  The title of this week’s story is “Smash! Crash!”  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. Nouns will be introduced this week. The amazing words presented are: signals, dud, proper, pirates, perfect, and fabulous. The sight words spotlighted are: 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: Our unit on shapes will be tested this week. The next unit focuses on numbers 0-5. We will learn how to read, write, and count those numbers.

Science and Social Studies: will focus on the Fall (Autumn) season and the holidays that occur during the season.

Handwriting: Capital letters will continue this week. We are trying to use proper formation when producing our letters each time we write. 

Reminders:

- This week is Homecoming Spirit Week. Please refer to the information that was sent home for daily dress themes.

-September book logs are now due. October Book Logs will be placed in folders on the first of the month.

- Fall Festival is approaching quickly. Please send in your $3.00 donation if you have not yet done so. Thank you for the donations we have received!

- It is important to practice sight words daily. Many students are advancing quickly. These students are seeing the benefits of knowing the words. They feel more confident when participating in reading activities containing their sight words. Along with sight words, please practice letters & sounds, oral counting to 100, and writing the numbers 0-10 daily.
