September 9th - 13th

What We're Working On:

Language Arts:

In Language Arts we are have been working on learning and reviewing letter names and sounds!
We have learned 4 "SNAP" words so far: I, like, me, a
These words are high frequency words that we call snap words because now that we have learned them we can read and write them in a snap! Please practice reading and writing our 4 snap words at home!

We are also learning the difference between letters, words, and sentences.  We are putting letters together to make words and words together to make sentences.  We have just learned how to write an "I like..." sentence, and we will keep practicing!


Social Studies:

This week in Social Studies we will continue our unit on Government!  Our unit is called "Me and My World."  This week our focus will be "Me and My Family" as we prepare for Special Friends Day on Friday!  (More info below about Special Friends Day!)

Math:

In math this week, we will continue to learn how to read, write, and represent our numbers. We will become excelling at using tools like ten frames and tally marks to show our numbers. We will also begin to discuss comparing numbers using words like "greater than" and "less than."
Here are a few of our favorite counting and subitizing videos to practice at home:



Science:

This week we will learn all about using properties to sort and describe objects. We have learned how scientists use their senses to discover an object's properties. We will learn about sorting by color, shape, size, texture, and more! Ask your child to find some things around their room (pillow, book, crayons, etc). and describe the physical properties.
