This coming week we will be doing a lot of learning. In reading street we will continue our study on how animals and plants are unique. We will be working on the sound of Ss. Currently the children have learned the sounds m, t, a, and now s. In addition to know the sounds in isolation, we have been working on putting these sounds together to make words. Children should be able to blend (saying the sounds to form the word) and read the following words: mat, tam, sat, and sam. When practicing blending with your child, have your child say the sounds slowly without stopping (mmmmmmaaaaaaat). Furthermore, children should also be able to read the sight words: I, am, have, little, to, a, the, is. In addition, please continue to practice letter identification with your child. Many children are doing extremely well with this skill and some need to continue to practice. I will be sending home your child's October alphabet assessment on Wednesday and Thursday!
In math, we are continue to work on counting and comparing numbers. Children will work on counting a specific set of objects and identifying the corresponding numbers. I will also be asking various questions to the children to work on comparing and ordering. We have been working a lot on this skill to develop a solid foundation of number sense. Research shows this foundation will make it easier when we begin to add and subtract in the spring.
Since November is upon us I will be sending home a new homework calendar. Please keep this safe as it has all of our sight words and math activities to complete at home during the month. In addition, please continue to complete the Family Ties sheet as this corresponds to what we are doing in the classroom. I am seeing a lot of progress from the children who are completing these quick activities at home. It is important to continue this practice since children are at school only 2 or 3 days a week.
