More apples and frog jump letters!

Here is a review of our week: 
Phonics- We continued Jolly Phonics by learning the sounds for r & m. We sang our Jolly songs and jingles with all the letters we have learned so far! Our popcorn word this week was see. We practiced many of our popcorn words using a predictable chart. One of the pages from our chart is below.

Handwriting- This week in handwriting we practiced the last letter, M, before playing a review game for all of the frog jump letters.

Reading: We read a story called "Friends at School" by Rochelle Bunnett. Our vocabulary words this week were enjoy, gooey, container, and scrumptious. We also discussed different types of illustrations as this book had photographs.



We started our poetry unit this week with the poem Apples, Apples.  
Apples juicy, apples round.
Apples on the tree or on the ground.

Apples yellow, apples red,
apple pie and juice and bread!

Apples crunchy, apples sweet,

apples are so good to eat!

Thank you to everyone who brought in binders and donated extras! We will continue our poetry unit next week with a new poem.



During Daily 5 we continued practicing read to self for 10 minutes as well as our two other centers, word work and listen to reading. Mrs. Nessling now comes in four days a week to help us with daily 5. We also had many volunteers who helped us in the computer lab this week.

Math- We continued practicing our counting. We worked on counting objects up to 10 in apple themed centers. When we finished a center early we went to a dessert tub. (Yes dessert!) The students found activities we had already completed as a class, but now could play independently. Next week we will have a new theme.

Important Reminders:

Turn in your All About Me posters when finished for me to keep in a safe place until it is your child's turn to share.

Scholastic book orders are due October 30th.

No School on October 14th.

Don't forget to turn in box tops! The class with the most box tops at the end of the year wins a class party.

Any questions?? Email me!

Have a wonderful weekend!
