Religion
This week we will learn about how God made and loves our animals. We will discuss different kids of animals that God made, Noah's Ark and the animals from that story, and even connect this chapter to our theme of dinosaurs. We are continuing to practice our kindness within our classroom and are shining our love for God through our actions. Please continue to practice the Angel of God prayer and the Our Father. |
Literacy/Language
This week we will begin learning about dinosaurs! We have been so excited for this theme all year long! We will be continuing our Literacy Series "Treasures" this week and focusing on the letters Ii/Tt and their sounds in words. Please practice these at home! Our new sight words this week is "little". I sent home small sight word paper books that focus on the word of the week. Please practice these at home with your child. They may not know all of the words in the book, so you should read it with them. This will help them practice their reading skills as well as making them more familiar with their sight words. The more they practice, the easier it will become! |
|
Math
In math this week, we will continue our math series "My Math". We will be working more in depth with each of the numbers that we have learned so far this year. This will include many counting exercises, number formation practice, and one-to-one correspondence. This week we will be working on making the numbers 6 and 7. We are continuing on our way with counting and have now been practicing to count to 100! WOW! We will continue to review and practice math concepts we have learned. |
Science/Concept
Our concept this week is all about Valentine's Day and different ways to say "I Love You!". We will read our Scholastic Let's Find Out magazine to explore more about this topic. We will continue our learning by learning how to say "I Love You" in a few different languages! These will include Spanish, sign language, and maybe even a few more! |
|
Centers
Our centers this week will consist of baby dolls, STEM building materials, houses/people, Legos, painting, and play doh. We will be making turkeys that show what we are thankful for! Be sure to check them out when you have a chance! |
REMEMBER:
Homework is sent home on Monday of each week and is to be completed and turned in by the NEXT Friday at the latest! USE PENCIL to complete the homework, as this is what we use in class for tracing activities. Practice, practice, practice is the best way to learn! Please make sure you are checking your child's folder EACH NIGHT for important information from myself or the office! |
As always, I am available by email and REMIND app for any questions/concerns
