Week of September 10^th-14^th  

Our Reading story for the week is “We Are So Proud”. Our question of the week is: How do school children work and play together? The Amazing Words for this story are: proud, cooperation, float, preparation, creation, guide. The high frequency words are: I, am. The text based comprehension skill is setting. We will learn about syllables and review rhyming for phonological awareness skills. We will identify the letters Ff-Nn. Please practice reading the “Am I?” decodable story. *Each decodable story can be recorded for the monthly Reading Logs. J

In Math we will continue to learn signals, timers, and procedures that will help our guided Math small group time run smoothly. We will continue working on learning how to read, write, and count numbers up to five. Please work on one to one correspondence with your child. This is counting an object and saying “one”, then moving to the next object and saying “two”.

In Science, we will begin our topic of The Nature of Science. We will learn about questions, observations, how to share what you observe, and safety.

Sight word testing for LIST 1 will begin towards the end of this week and/or beginning of next week. Be sure to take out, cut apart and practice recognizing the sight words that were placed in the first plastic sleeve of the daily folder. We will be working on words in school as well.
