Jolly Phonics: This week we worked on the letter sounds “ ai, j, oa, ie, and ee/or ” in our Jolly Phonics books.  Please review these sounds and songs with your child. 

         Literacy: We read the book Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell.  The children learned what strategies good readers use when they read.  The five strategies focused on this week include visualizing, inferring, making connections, sharing their opinion, and retelling the story.

Writing: We enjoyed reading the book When I Get Bigger   by Mercer Mayer.  The children discussed the story with a partner and generated writing ideas.  They were so excited to write and share what they wanted to do when they got bigger.

Math: Math skills we worked on this week included sorting shapes, exploring numbers by counting and reading numbers 1- 10.  We also learned that there are numbers all around. We even  have numbers within our addresses. The children enjoyed drawing pictures of their houses to correspond with their written addresses.
