Week of October 5th- October 9th
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 10/5-10/9
Writing: I can copy my last name.
Literacy: I have memorized my Red Rainbow Words. I can identify the beginning and ending sounds in words. I can read "The Fat Bat".
Math: I can make groups of 8 & 9 objects. I can identify and write the numbers 0-9.
Rainbow Words
Students will need to have memorized all of the Red Rainbow Words (set 1) by October 9th. On October 12th, all students will be receiving set 2: (orange).
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 red words, and will move on to the next color in the rainbow once all of the words are memorized. The rainbow words are located in the pouch inside of your child's homework folder. Please practice a few of these words with your child each night.
Letterland
We will be practicing blending and segmenting CVC words.
iReady Math
Our math lessons will focus on making groups of 8 & 9 numbers . Our math goals for this week are: making sets of groups with sums to 9, comparing numbers within 9 and identifying which numbers are greater/smaller. We will also continue to work on developing an instant recognition of groups 0 to 9, recognizing numbers 0-9, and writing numbers 0-9.
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 begin our Continents domain. We will be learning the location of each of the continents, identifying them on a map, and learning a few facts about each one.
Writing
This week we will begin practicing our last names. Students will have a visual to copy from. We are remembering to only capitalize the first letter of our names (that letter is the line leader/boss of our names). 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).
We will also begin our Directed Drawing Unit. Students will be asked to illustrate a simple picture using directed drawing and label the drawing by copying a word. The Directed Drawing Assessment is Wednesday, October 28th.
Homework
Please read with your child each day and assist your child with completing the nightly homework.
