Religion
This week we will begin Chapter 14: God Made Color. We will discuss the colors around us that we see in the world. We will do a science activity to discover what two colors we can mix to make a new color! 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 arctic animals! Our read alouds will help us to learn about what animals live in the arctic and what the climate is like there! We will be continuing our Literacy Series "Treasures" this week and focusing on the letter Aa and its sounds in words. Please practice these at home! Our new sight words this week are "am, the,see". I sent home small sight word paper books that focus on the word of the week (the). 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 begin 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. We will continue practicing how to count to 50! We will continue to review and practice math concepts learn the past 19 weeks. |
Science/Concept
Our concept this week is all about polar bears! We will learn about how polar bears adapt to the cold weather, what they eat, and how they behave. We will be making lots of fun arctic crafts/science experiments so be on the look out for those! |
|
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 Thursday/Friday 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
