Week of September 14th - September 18th
Weekly Goals
Meeting the weekly goals will help ensure that your child stays on track and is ready for 1st grade at the end of the school year.
Goals for the week of 9/14-9/18
Identify whether or not two words rhyme.
Identify and write the numbers 0-5.
Rainbow Words
This week we will begin our Rainbow Words (set 1: red). Rainbow words (sight words) are commonly found in beginning reading passages and are typically not decodable. These are the words that we will be memorizing. Students will begin with the Red Words, and will move on to the next color in the rainbow once all of the red words are memorized. The first set of words is located in the pouch inside of your child's homework folder. Please practice a few of these words with your child each night.
Letterland
During the week of September 14th, we will be identifying words that begin with the letters C and A.
iReady Math
Our math lessons will focus on comparing the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Our math goals for this week are: comparing numbers within 5 and identifying which numbers are greater/smaller. We will also continue to work on developing an instant recognition of groups 0 to 5, recognizing numbers 0-5, and writing numbers 0-5.
Classroom Reader
We will begin to read from our skills reader (in class) on October 19th. Students will receive individual readers in the pocket pouch of their homework folders to practice reading at home. We would love to have parent volunteers to read with students during our centers time each day between 1:30-2:30pm. If you are interested, please make sure to complete the volunteer request form and background check.
Domain
This week we will continue the science domain The Needs of Plants and Animals. We will be learning about the differences between deciduous and evergreen trees, and identifying the needs of people and animals. Our domain assessment will be on Thursday, September 24th.
Writing
This week we will continue practicing our first names. We are remembering to only capitalize the first letter of our names (that letter is the line leader/boss of our names). We will also be writing numerals 0-5 and writing letters q-z. We are working on writing all of our letters and numbers from "top to bottom, left to right" and "keeping their hiney on the liney" (writing on top of the line).
Homework
Please read with your child each day and assist your child with completing the nightly homework.
