Dear Parents,
This week in Phonics we will be learning the vowel team ee. Please
ask your child about the sound ee makes and words that have ee in them.
In Language Arts, we will continue to write sentences in our journal and our
center work. We will illustrate cause & effect flipbooks, decode ee words and
match them to pictures, illustrate an ee SMART story to show comprehension,
and read our 2nd Junior Great Books story, The Frog Went A Traveling.
In Math, we will write numbers on a number grid, use a shape
template, and practice following oral directions, use operation symbols to
solve addition/subtraction problems, and play top-it to compare numbers.
In Social Studies we will continue our American symbols unit and talk
about Thanksgiving as an American holiday. This week we will focus on the
White House.
Please look in your child’s folder everyday to check their behavior
calendar. Please initial the boxes nightly. Please ask your child to
practice writing their name in proper case, numbers 0-20, sentences beginning
with I like, I am, It is, This is, My friend.
Thanks!
Shea
