FRIDAY NOTE (9/25/15)
Events
of the Week:
Math: In math, we
completed our unit on measurement. We
have been using math words, such as length, longest, shortest, height, taller,
capacity, weight and so on. Ask your
child to put your family members in order from tallest to shortest.
Language
Workshop: Our theme this week was Colors. Our big book for the week was Rain. We’ve been focusing on naming the parts of a
book (front cover, back cover and title page).
We also have been learning to name the jobs of both the author (writes
the words) and illustrator (draws the pictures). Look for these assessments in your child’s
folder. As always, if he/she is not
proficient in these skills, then please practice them at home because I will
reassess at least one more time before the end of the quarter.
Reading
Workshop: We continued our unit over reading
routines. This week we focused on
reading with a buddy. We colored and
then read simple color books with predictable text (The blue bird.) together
and afterwards shared our favorite part of the book. We added these books to our book boxes so
that we can reread them independently.
Writing
Workshop: Our predictable chart was “I like ____.” (I
like purple.) The sight word we learned
was “like”.
Word
Study: We continued our letter study by learning the
letters Cc and Hh. We worked on
identifying each letter, writing it correctly and saying its sound.
