Week of September 12, 2016

This week during our literacy block, we will learn about the parts of a book - cover, title page, title, author, illustrator.  We will continue learning the various "Daily Five" stations that we will be working at during literacy.  The stations are - read to self, read with a partner, word work, writing, listening and the teacher station where I will work with small groups.

We are drawing and will begin to label our pictures to express our thoughts.

In math we will be measuring and talking about shapes.  We will begin working on numbers 1-10 counting and writing.  We will look for numbers all around us.

We will work with the letters "c" and "o".

Our sight words this week are "and" "to".  Please have your child read these words and spell these words.  I will send home the first group of words we will be working on.  You can cut the words apart to use as flash cards.

We worked on a red bird project after reading "Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?"
We are also learning how to read to self - using the pictures to tell the story and how to
read to a partner.  You can see that we are getting to know each other and quickly making new friends.
