Yea for cloudy weather! We noted that we had our first cloudy day of the school year on Thursday!
RELIGION: One of my favorite Bible characters-Joseph-a man of great faith and trust in God’s promises!!
READING: Letter Tt as heard at the beginning of tag, turtle and tickle (we will not focus on the th sound of the letter at this time)! However our new sight word will be The, the-a little irony there, huh. Other skills we continue to work on-beginning, middle, end of a story; that the first word in a sentence starts with a capital letter and the sentence ends with a period (or maybe an exclamation point or a question mark)!
MATH-We will make sure we can put numbers 1-5 in order (also which is missing) and then match each number to a set of objects. We will make a graph of our favorite color of pattern block and talk about the most and the fewest. We will learn to make a matrix (it’s kind of a special puzzle we put together) with some shape pieces which is valuable in helping to understand the attributes of shape, color and size of the shape pieces as well as their position in the puzzle! The children will have some fun making their own AB patterns!! And numbers 3 and 4 will be featured! And, my favorite, we will learn to do dot-to-dot using numbers (number ordering)!! Whew-sounds pretty “mathy” to me!!
Social Studies-We are travelling Australia-looking for kangaroos, koalas and the old kookaburra!!
SCIENCE- Garden News-Hmm…we’ve got radishes coming along nicely, but having trouble seeing any spinach, trying to be hopeful!! We’ve had some watering issues, so things seem to be a little behind! It is a learning experience for the children that gardening can be frustrating and it can take work! There are weeds to be pulled!!
We are also talking about our five senses with emphasis next week on SMELL and TASTE!!!
