Hello
Parents/Guardians!
W.O.W (Words of the Week)
Words:
- am
- do
- did
- what
- so
Weekly Highlights:
- This week in Math we identified
the number that comes before, after, and in between a given number.
We practiced counting on and counting back from 20 to help us with this
skill. We practiced ordering
numbers to 20 and learned what ordinal numbers are and how to say them
properly (e.g. first, second, third, fourth).
We also reviewed how to represent a number correctly on a ten frame, how
to read ten frames and use counting on to figure out how many quickly, and
practiced reading numbers to 100 on a 100 chart. Here is a link to a
fun game to review numbers on a 100 chart.

- This week we focused on improving
our writing. We wrote about a topic of our choice, remembering to
use finger spaces, start sentences with an uppercase letter, end sentences
with a period, use the word wall to spell sight words, and stretch out and
write unfamiliar words using kid writing. We also read our writing
to make sure that our sentences made sense. We discussed the importance of having a
complete piece of writing.
- We are continuing to learn new
secret stories as well as review the ones we have already learned.
This week we reviewed ou and ow (They love to fight but someone always
gets hurt and says owww. But then
they get interrupted because they see superhero O flying in the sky so
they stop fighting, look up and say “O”). We also learned that English
words don’t end in u or v so one of mommy e’s jobs is to hang out at the
end of these words (e.g. have).
- In Social Studies we finished our
story vines. We talked about our name and why we have that name. We
learned where we were born and where our families came from. Next we talked
about three communities that we belong to and three three important part
of our culture or traditions in our family. Next week will be presenting
our story vines to our classmates.
Reminders:
Pizza
Party: The
date for the pizza party is Friday, December 6. Your child will not need to
bring a lunch that day as the Parent Council will be providing pizza for our
class because 1E sold the most boxes of cards. The children have all placed
their orders for what type of pizza they want and Parent Council will also
provide cinnamon bites and juice boxes.
