Math: 

We are continuing our District Mathematical Practice Lessons. We will review the rules learned last week about Centers. Then we will discuss Center Groups and students will have time to complete one center rotation. We will practice counting with counting songs and number identification with flash cards.

Here is another fun Counting Song and a slideshow for number identification.The slideshow is numbers 0-10.

 

Reading:

We are continuing our Nursery Rhymes Module. The students are doing great listening to the Nursery Rhymes and then echoing me line by line. We are discussing vocabulary words from each one and discussing the Characters in each one. For example on Monday we will read Jack and JIll, along with Little Boy Blue. Our words are fetch and frightened. We will discuss the other Nursery Rhymes that have a character named Jack. Along with other questions like what is a crown in the rhyme Jack and Jill.
**On Thursday the students will be asked to recite a Nursery Rhyme by memory. ANY RHYME OF THEIR CHOOSING! Please practice so that everyone does well.**

Here is the list of all the rhymes we will have discussed in class by this time:  

Roses Are Red              Ring Around the Rosie
Rain, Rain Go Away       It's Raining, It's Pouring
Jack Be Nimble       Little Jack Horner
Jack and Jill       Little Boy Blue
This Little Pig Went to Market       One, Two Buckle My Shoe
Star Light, Star Bright       Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

We will also be reviewing last weeks sight words and adding them to our word wall. Then look at four new words this week: orange, brown, I and the.

Writing:

We were so busy last week that we never got to work on our Ideas for Writing Poster. So this week we will be focusing on that! :) We will also discuss the writing routine~ all together at the carpet and then working alone at our seats. We will practice drawing on a quiet voice and a no talking voice Level 0.We will also have a Grammar lesson about capitalizing the first letters in names using the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes.
