Recap of the Week:
This past week we worked on the letter H. We glued a hamster wheel to the front cover of our letter book and completed four pages to improve letter recognition. The rest was sent home for homework. We brainstormed a list of words beginning with the letter H. Thank you for sending in all the clippings.We practiced writing upper and lowercase H in our Handwriting without Tears workbooks. We talked about Thanksgiving. We learned the story of the first Thanksgiving and talked about what we're grateful for. We read about being thankful in our Scholastic weekly reader. We identified the rhyming words as we read. We circled the letters in the word:"grateful" on the back of the leaflet. On Tuesday, we voted for our favorite cracker: squares (graham crackers) or circles (Ritz). The winner was squares so we had graham crackers with snack on Wednesday. We also practiced cutting. The children cut strips of orange construction paper and threaded them onto brad fasteners to create a pumpkin. We also made owls from toilet paper rolls. In Religion we read the story of creation and talked about our 5 senses. In our unit: "Ready for School" we read: "The Little Red Hen" and acted out the story with finger puppets. We also reviewed what length and height measure. We started to talk about the math terms: more, less and the same.
This Week:
This week we will focus on the letter T. The children will make a tiger cover for their letter book. We'll complete four pages in school and the rest will be sent home. We'll brainstorm a list of words beginning with the letter T. Please send in two to three clippings of words or pictures beginning with T for the back of our chart. The children should be helping to find and cut out the pictures. We'll use play dough to practice forming upper and lowercase T. In Religion we'll talk about how we can care for God's creation. We'll make turkeys from construction paper. We'll also practice counting. The children will place the correct amount of clothespins on each numbered turkey. In our unit: "Ready for School" we'll continue to talk about the math terms: more, less and the same.
