WEEK OF NOVEMBER 11-15

Dear Parents,

This week we are going to be working with the letter Ll. The vocabulary words that we are going to be focusing on are the following: lollipop, lizard, lemon, light bulb, ladder, lamb, lips, lobster, lock, lamp, lightning, lettuce, ladybug, lid, and log.

 

In Science, we are going to be introducing the unit of PLANTS. This week we are going to be studying the parts of the plant. We are going to be discussing the ways to take care of the plants. The children will be planting beans. Every day we are going to be observing our plant and recording any changes it may have. If you have anything that can help us with this unit, we would really appreciate it if you can let us borrow it.

 

Some of the stories we are going to be reading this week are:

 

Lulu the Lamb doesn’t know when to stop laughing until Lion teaches her a lesson.

 

This story explores the concepts of time, size and manners through the exploits of one very grouchy ladybug. When it refuses to share aphids with another ladybug, the grouchy insect flies off to pick a fight an hour with a succession of ever-larger animals.

 

When a little boy plants a carrot seed, everyone tells him it won't grow. But when you are very young, there are some things that you just know, and the little boy knows that one day a carrot will come up. So he waters his seed, and pulls the weeds, and he waits ...

 

 

Sid is a seed who is quite at home, living in his little underground world. He has two living companions, a spider and a caterpillar, which are making plans to become something great. Slowly his friends leave on their exciting journeys, leaving Sid by himself, longing for his own life changing event.

 

 

 

In Math, we are going to be introducing number 18. The children will make sets with this number. We are also going to be constructing pictographs. Each child will have the chance to create their own graph.

 

The sight words we are going to be studying for the next couple of weeks are: but, not, what, all, we. Click on the following link to find a great game you may want to try with your child at home.  http://www.starfall.com/n/matching/sight-words/play.htm?f
