week of October 6, 2014


This week in class:
 
Math:  We will be finishing Topic 1, Numbers 1-5.  We will be writing these numbers, counting objects, and working on one-to-one correspondence.  Our next topic is Comparing and Ordering numbers 0-5.  Please practice counting as high as you can!
 
Reading: Our new story is called: “Dig, Dig, Digging!” and the skill we will be focusing on is classifying and categorizing.  We are also working on consonant Tt.  We will be working on initial and final Tt in words.  In small groups, we are working on letter identification and sight words and reading sentences.  We also will introduce nouns for places and things. 
 
Science: In our science center, we have several different kinds of gourds to observe along with a mum and acorns.  We also talk about different characteristics of fall.  We started working on the topic “How do we solve problems?”
 
 
Reminders:
 
We need volunteers for the Fall Festival.  You only need clearances to do so and this is not a PTO event.  Also, if you did not send in the $4, please do so as soon as possible because supplies and snacks need to be purchased prior to the event.  Thank you!
 
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.
 
Art shirts and extra clothes may be labeled and left in cubbies for the year in case they are needed.
