Jolly Phonics: This week we worked on the letter sounds “x, ch, sh, th, and qu ” in our Jolly Phonics books.  Please review these sounds and songs with your child. 

Lead 21 –Literacy: Around Me Unit theme “What can I find out about the world around me?”  This week we focused on the question, “How can I use my senses to describe things?”

Math: In math this week we focused on counting and recognizing teen numbers.  We used shaving cream to practice writing numbers. It was messy, but a lot of fun!

Writing: We read the story titled Red is a Dragon: A Book of Colors. Then everyone independently drew and labeled four objects of a specific color. The pictures were then shared with a friend.

Sharing: We are working hard on identifying words that rhyme. Please have your child bring in two items that rhyme for sharing next week.
