READING:
Letters: Ii-Rr
Sight word: can
This week we introduce
the Beanie Baby—Eagle Eye---Eagle eye reminds the children to look at the
pictures to figure out the words they are reading.
We also read a few
nursery rhymes each day. Rhyming is important
to learning to read.
WRITING: I have the children write in a journal every
day. I keep September until the end of
the year—the rest will come home at the end of the month. You can see September at fall conferences.
Our writing units
are on speaking and listening. We are learning
what a now and verb are.
SCIENCE:
We are continuing
to release butterflies—we read GOTTA GO!
GOTTA GO! It’s about
the migration of Monarch’s to Mexico.
We are continuing
our study of living and non living.
SOCIAL STUDIES:
We are continuing
our look into classroom rules, making friends and helping each other.
TESTING
We will begin our
first assessments this week into next week.
I will share the results as we get them back. This will help us adjust our activities in
the classroom to best meet the needs of the children,
