Monday Things to Know:

Week of October 12th-October 16th:

Reading: We will continue unit 1: Lesson 3: "”How Can your Senses Help you Learn”, in our Wonders Reading Series. We will listen to the story, “Senses At the Seashore” identify what a non-fiction text is mostly about while also identifying important ideas and details in the story. We will listen to the story ,“A Feast of the Senses," in order to build oral vocabulary skills. We will learn, identify, and practice writing the letter; Ss. We will connect the sound /s/ to the letter a and write the uppercase and lowercase. We will identify items with the beginning Ss sound as well as listen for /s/ at the end of words. We will name the first sound in a group of words (beginning sound). We will work on ending sounds (last sound in a word). We will practice reading, writing, and spelling the sight word; see. We will practice our 3 sight words; I, can, the, we, & see. We will learn a new sight word "see". Students will build confidence recognizing and using this important sight word in their reading and writing. We will use our skills to read the story "Sam Can See," and "I Can See." Students will be working on syllables and rhyming words.

Sight words: I, can, the, we, see

Math: We will finish up Unit 3: Numbers 1-10. Students will count, recognize, identify and write numbers 6-10. We will identify the missing number in a number line. We will identify whats 1 more than the number. We will complete an Assessment on Numbers 1-10.

Handwriting: We will be working on our FIRST names Kindergarten style. A capital letter at the beginning of our name and the rest lowercase. (ie. Deirdre Callinan).

Religion: We will continue on our Religion series; "Blest are We." Unit 5:" God Gives Me Feelings." We will understand and identify many feelings. We will understand that God knows how we feel. We will listen to the scripture account of “The Finding of Jesus in the temple.”

Social Studies: We will finish up our study on Communities in our Unit: Me and My Community. We can explain different jobs in a community and tell why they are important. We can explain how and why people work. We can explain the difference between wants and needs. We can explain ways to help our community. We will complete an assessment on Community Helpers.

Dear families,

This year, our class is excited to read with Scholastic Book Clubs! It’s a great way to build up your child’s book collection at home and help them improve their reading skills. And when you shop with Clubs, your orders earn points I can redeem for books and other classroom supplies we need.

Here’s how it works: I’ll send home flyers like these throughout the year. If you decide to place an order, you can do that through our class ordering page. Your books will arrive at school about 10 days after I submit our classroom order.

By teaming up with Scholastic, we’ll help your child become a more confident, independent reader—and we’ll build a classroom library all of my students are excited to explore!

Order due date: 09/30/25
