Qtr. 2 - Week 3: Pumpkins
Reading: This week we will be working on learning new "popcorn words". You will be receiving new words in your child's Daily Folder on Monday. (If you received a paper -not cards- last week, you will not receive more words this week.) We will also continue working on syllables. Breaking words into syllables helps us when we are reading and writing the words.
Writing: We will continue working on writing patterned books. These will be based on our personal experiences. We will also be incorporating the "popcorn words" we will be practicing. We are in Kindergarten so we don't know how to spell everything the grown-up way. We are learning to say words we want to write and listen for the sounds. This is the "Kindergarten way".
Math: We will be working on learning understanding relationships between numbers and quantities in larger numbers. Soon we will be working on the teen numbers and counting on from 10.
Reminders:
*Ganyard Farm Field Trip - Thursday, October 19th (Still need volunteers if you are available and registered!!)
*Early Release - Friday, October 20th - 1:15pm
*Please remember to send a water bottle and a snack with a separate drink every day.
*Please remember to send a change of clothes (appropriate for the Fall weather).
Some things to work on:
* syllables (say a word and have your child clap the syllables and tell how many)
* counting by 1s to 50
* Letterland characters, the letters they hide behind and their sounds. The sheet with all this information was given out at Open House.
*Popcorn Words - coming Monday - You child will need to be able to say this words quickly when flashed in front of them.
