October 21-25, 2019    

Reading: Our story this week is called “Nature’s Spy.” It is a nonfiction story that teaches us how we can appreciate the world around us when we look closely at the natural environment. We will discuss setting throughout the week and proper nouns will be introduced. Our amazing words are: discover, nature, spy, acorn, pod, and pattern. The targeted sight words are have and is.
Phonics: The focus letter for the week is Ss. The sound is /s/, as in sun. This sound will be taught in the beginning and the end of words. (sun, bus)

Math: We are learning the numbers 0-10. This includes identifying and counting these numbers, as well as writing the numbers with correct formation.

Reminders:

~ The weather is becoming chillier. Please be sure your child is wearing a warm jacket to school. We do go outside for recess daily unless it is raining.

~ Monday starts Red Ribbon Week. Please refer to the informational sheet that was in your child’s folder on Friday for daily themes.

~ We are collecting money for parties that will take place throughout the year. Please send in your $5.00 if you have not contributed yet. 

~ Please continue to practice sight words daily. This repetition will help your child learn the 96 required sight words, leading them to become a more fluent reader. Also take some time to practice the following skills: letter and sound identification, rhyming, syllables, counting to 100, and writing numbers 0-20. 

~Monday is Day 7 on the specials rotation schedule.

Have a super week!
