Here’s what is
happening this week:
We are beginning a super important reading unit this
week! Students will learn “tools” or
strategies that will help them read tricky words. I am sending home a booklet for you to keep in
a special place. This booklet explains
each strategy or tool, and how you can help your child at home when they are
reading to you. Please continue
listening to your child read their guided reading book every night it comes
home.
On Tuesday your child will be bring home their Kentucky
Center for the Arts (we are going to see Ferdinand the Bull) and Waterfront
Park Field Trip form. Field trip forms
and money are due Friday, September 23rd.
What are we learning?
Reading Workshop
We are learning about strategies to help us read tricky
words. These strategies include
·
Looking at the Picture
·
Getting your mouth ready (saying the initial
letter sound and later the final sound of the word)
Writing Workshop
We will continue to develop our story ideas, reinforce
spacing between words and to stretch out each word to write each sound they
hear. Thank you for your responses to
the family journals. Reading your
message and sharing the sketches you make is a big treat for the kiddos!
Handwriting
Handwriting instruction will focus on developing fine motor
skills as well as the proper formation of the following letters: F, f, D and d.
Word Study
This week, we will explore the letters Ff and Dd. Ask your
child about the letter sound chants for both.
We will also learn how to read and write these words that will be added
to our Word Wall: for, on, and she. Have
your child sing you the songs for these words.
Math
We are learning oral counting games, noticing patterns all
around us and how to properly write numbers.
Science
We will learn about plants: What are the parts of
plants? What are different parts of corn
plants and how do they work together? We
will also observe and record our corn plants.
