Pumpkin Week

                                                                  

We have had a fast but busy week learning about pumpkins! Here are some of the important things we learned...

Our literacy centers included playing CVC games,  reading books assigned to us on RAZKids. sequencing the life cycle of a pumpkin, finding and writing CVC words and power words, and much more!

In Phonics this week, we worked on the letters and sounds for Ww, Jj, and Ee.  We learned two new power words: to and do. We continued blending and segmenting and isolating beginning and ending sounds. 

During Reading, we listened to and discussed the story Josie's Lost Tooth.  We continued to make text-to-self connections to relate the story to our own lives.  We revisited songs and poems that we have learned and found power words in the poems in our poem book. We learned new vocabulary words: sneak, persistent, imitate, and champion

We continued to learn about comparing lengths, heights, and weights during Math. We will wrap up this unit soon and will start our next unit on comparing numbers in the coming days.  

We had fun at our Fire Prevention Day activities! Ask your child to tell you what they learned. 

We practiced writing "I like" sentences during Writing. We worked on writing left to right, leaving spaces between words, and capitalizing the first word in our sentence.  We are focusing on tapping out sounds we hear in words and recording each sound on paper. 

We practiced writing "I like to" during Interactive Writing.
