Take a Peek at our Week
Language Arts
Writer's Workshop:
This week in Writer's Workshop we will continue writing sentences in our journals! We will review how sentences begin with a capital letter, have spaces between words, and end with punctuation. We will start with "I like......" sentences and work towards adding more!
We will also learn another new SNAP word: "said." So far we have learned 6 SNAP (high frequency words) Words. They are: I, like, can, see, a, said. Please practice and review these words at home too!
Reader's Workshop:
We will continue our unit on rereading and looking closely at books to learn and notice more. We will practice sounding more like a storyteller when we are reading and rereading some of our favorite stories!
We will also read some fun books about FALL.
Phonics:
We will continue focusing on the common sounds that letters represent! We will also talk about and practice sorting letters, words, and sentences. We will discuss how letters make words and words make sentences.
At Parent / Teacher Conferences I will share with you the log in information for your child for two apps that use to help promote success in reading and phonics: Raz Kids and I Station! We have learned about both of these apps in class and will continue to practice using them. Please feel free to check them out at home too!
Math
In Math this week, we will continue working on our numeracy skills! We will continue our focus on comparing numbers! We will learn vocabulary words like greater, more, less, fewer, and equal. We will be able to compare numbers, pictures, and sets of objects! We will also use two new apps (Khan Academy Kid and Boom Cards) to help us practice our comparing skills!
Social Studies
In Social Studies, we will begin a new Unit on Our Country, and Land We Love! Students will learn about National Patriotic Holidays and understand important symbols, customs, and responsibilities that Americans celebrate. We will recite the United States Flag and Texas Flag which our state and national symbols.
Community Field Trips: A big THANK -YOU to all our parents that were able to help with our Community Field Trips! We could have not done this without you!!
Science
In Science, we begin a new Unit on Physical Science: Force, Motion, and Energy. This week we will learn how Thermal Energy, Force, and Motion are related and are a part of our everyday life. We will use our five senses as tools to explore different forms of energy (thermal, sound, light).
