Week of September 23-27, 2019       

Reading: “Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip” is our new story. This animal fantasy discusses 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 Amazing Words in the story include: bakery, park, library, fire station, post office, and chaperone. The targeted sight words are: 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. We are also trying to identify all letters and their sounds daily.

Math: Our Unit of Shapes will conclude this week. Concepts include 2-dimensional flat shapes (plane shapes) as well as 3-dimensional solid figures. Vocabulary words to review include: sides, vertices, circle, square, triangle, rectangle, hexagon, trapezoid, rhombus, oval, sphere, cube, cone, cylinder, rectangular prism, triangular prism, and pyramid. Also practice positional words, such as above, below, beside, next to, in front of, and behind
Science: In honor of Johnny Appleseed, we will be using apples as our science theme. We will be using our five senses to sort, compare, graph, and taste apples.
