The Zebra Stripe

 
Phonics
This week will look at the following letters and sounds: e, s, sh, and th. We 
will also be building words and practicing the skill of blending. At the end 
of this week we will have a phonics test on all the sounds we've learned so 
far. 

Math
This week we will be using apples to learn how to divide a solid in half, 
working with pictographs, and writing number sentences.

Reading
This week we will be engaging with some new texts related to apples. Miss 
Burns will be leading our class this weeks, so enjoy our 
wonderful student teacher. She has some fun learning activities planned 
around apples and Johnny Appleseed.

Science:
This week we will be studying about seeds, plants, and apples. Talk to your 
children about what they're seeing and learning about in science! 

Writing 
We will continue to write using some new strategies: writing all the sounds 
in words, drawing hard to make pictures, and writing hard to write words.


Conversation Connection! 
Talk to your children at night about their manners we're practicing at 
school, discuss ways to show "kindess" - this is our first Zebra Class 
Promise, and ask what new strategy we're using in reading. We've been 
focusing on picture clues, character, and sequencing!

Announcements/Reminders:
Our volunteer readers will begin Monday, September 8th! Please look for a 
reminder notice in your child's orange homework folder. Thanks for working 
with the Zebra Class!
