K-1
Mrs. Pacchioli

Week of February 2-6

RELIGION:  The children will be discussing ways to show kindness to others and to be sensitive to their feelings. We will also be discussing the importance of asking for forgiveness when we hurt someone’s feelings or do an unkind act. 

MATH:  We have jumped into exploring the numbers 11–20! We are having fun learning to identify and write these numbers, count objects, use a double ten frame, draw the correct number of tally marks, and figure out which numbers come before and after. Through lots of hands-on activities, we will be building a strong understanding of these numbers while having fun! 

LANGUAGE ARTS:  We will be focusing on the letters Kk and Ll . The children are spending time each day practicing how to read CVC words while using a variety of fun, hands-on materials to keep learning exciting. It is very important to review all papers and stories that come home in your child’s folder. When practicing sight words, please print each word on an index card so you can play games together and focus on the words your child is still learning. 

Weekly  words:  help   too   has   play   look

We are having so much fun writing in our journals once a week! I am truly amazed by the sentences the children are creating with some guidance—you are going to be so excited and surprised by their progress. We have also added our weekly UFLI story. The children read the story together, talk about the characters and what the story is about, and then draw a picture to show their understanding.  I will have the journals available for you to view at our Open House on January 25th.

SOCIAL STUDIES/SCIENCE:  During the month of February, we will learning about the Presidents, American Monuments, and how to be good citizen.  We will also be learning about shadows, dental health, and push, pull, and force.
