week of October 20,2014

This week in class:

 

Math:  Our topic is Comparing and Ordering numbers 0-5.  Please practice counting as high as you can!  We just covered 0 and how it means that we have none.  We will be taking the assessment next week as well, please sign and return it as soon as possible.  THANKS!!

 

Reading/Phonics: Our story is called: “Flowers!” and the skill we will be focusing on is comparing and contrasting.  We are also working on vowel Aa.  We will be working on labeling and nouns for more than one.  We also will be listening for sequence. This is a continuation of last week because it was a short week.

 

Science: We started working on the topic “How do we solve problems?”

We will be looking at different ways to solve problems and looking at how to come up with several solutions.  Our bulletin board is also reflecting our fall interests and how we like this season.

Reminders:

 

Please keep the sight word envelope in the folder.  We will fill the envelope with the flash cards as we introduce them in school.  Please practice those daily.  The words include: I, am, the, little, have, is, to, a, my, we, like, he.

 

Information went home for the Parent/Teacher conferences to be held in November.

 

Art shirts and extra clothes may be labeled and left in cubbies for the year in case they are needed.
