Time for Fundations word work🦉
Go and get your green homework bag. You will need your Fundations pack and your pencil case. Watch the video's below to learn about our new letters this week. They are Jj and Pp!
This is the video shared by The Wilson Academy for their Fundations program. Unit 1- week 8
https://hub.wilsonacademy.com/sharelink/b1a8730b-770a-43dc-b50a-66a5d54cb229
We are working on the letter's Jj and Pp.
Jj and Pp are both plane line letters!
Can you say all the letters, key words and sounds we have learned using our standard letter cards?
Let's get up and make our letters with Jack Hartmann!
Now we are going to practice printing the letter's j and p on the writing paper in your Fundations pack. Remember to sit at the table in your writing position. I know you will do your very best😊 Watch Mrs. LeClair's video's below to remind you of the proper letter formation!
Now get up and move with Koo Koo Kanga Roo - Brrrrrrrrrrr
Creating time🎨✂✏
For this activity you will need the supplies in your green bag marked with a pink sticky note "M" for Monday. Create a snowman puppet using the resource shown then glue your sentence on the bottom. Circle the words you know and name your snowman. Remember to stretch out the name and write the letters that match the sounds😃 I can't wait to see your creations!
Now take out the math bag from your green bag.
Take out all the round counters and sort them into groups by color. How many of each color do you have? How many altogether?
Find the paper that looks like this. Write down the letters for each sound you hear in the word to match the object. Watch Mrs. LeClair's video first then you try🤩
