🎄     December 3-6, 2019     🎄

I hope everyone enjoyed their family time during the Thanksgiving break. We are now rolling into the most wonderful time of the year! This is the season for great excitement, as well as busy schedules. We will take some time to incorporate Christmas activities into our regular lessons over the next few weeks.  

Reading is moving on to Unit 3 this week! This unit discusses changes that occur around us. “Little Panda” is our first story. It is a nonfictional story that explains how a panda changes in its first year of life. The children will compare and contrast how a panda and her mother are alike, as well as how they are different. Verbs will be introduced this week. Our amazing words are: weigh, measure, healthy, bamboo, curious, and explore. New sight words presented this week include: me, with, and she.

Phonics: Two letters will be targeted this week: Bb and Nn. The initial and final /b/ and /n/ sounds will be practiced.

Math lessons will continue to work with the numbers 11-20. Our goal is to read, write, and count numbers up to 20. Please practice counting forward and backward from 0-20.
