This
will be a Review Week!!! We will be reviewing all the letters of the alphabet
we have studied so far with the corresponding vocabulary words introduced for
each letter.
We
will be doing a sort of different activities to review syllable counting and beginning
sounds.
We
are going to be evaluating the 20 sight words we have worked with in the class.
Please make sure your child recognize these words by sight. Practicing at home
daily will be very beneficial for your kid and helpful for us. The sight words
they should know by now are: the, I,
and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it, he, was, for, on, are, as, with, his, they,
of.
In
Math, we will be reviewing numbers 0-13. The children should be able to
recognize these numbers out of sequence, making sets to match each number and
sequence the numbers in the correct order. We will be reviewing pictographs and counting backwards from
10. 
We
have also decided to have an Author Study about Eric Carle. If you have any books about this wonderful author
please send them with your child to school. We will be reading some of his
books and watching interesting videos about the way he creates his books.
Some of the books
that we chose to read in class are the following:
Poor
Hermit Crab! He's outgrown his snug little shell, so he finds himself a larger
one -- and many new friends to decorate and protect his new house. But what
will happen when he outgrows this shell, and has to say good-bye to all the sea
creatures that have made Hermit Crab's house a home? Children will also learn a
lot about the fascinating world of marine life along the way.
The children will get the chance to
decorate their own stars.
A
newly hatched caterpillar eats his way through all kinds of food, getting
bigger and bigger, until eventually he turns into a beautiful butterfly.
We
will study the life Cycle of a Butterfly. We will be doing a unit with the
story The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The students will be retelling the story
with cards, acting it out with stick puppets, and making arts and crafts that
go along with the story. If you have any stories that talk about butterflies,
please let us borrow them from you. The vocabulary we will be discussing is
egg, caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly, and cycle.
In our Phonemic
Awareness, the children are going to be identifying rhyming words.
Rhyming
teaches children how language works. It helps them notice and work with
the sounds within words.
In Science we will start a new theme about MY BODY. This week we will
mainly review concepts the students should already know. We will be talking
about eyes, nose, mouth, ears, head, shoulders, knees, toes, hands, fingers,
arms. If you have any poster or any other material that you are willing to
share with the class, we would appreciate if you will let us borrow them from
you.
This week the students in charge of donating the ingredients for Kinder
Kafe are: Sofia Estrada and Sofia Tejerina. Thank you in advance!!
