Wek of February 27- March 3 Letter V

Dear Parents,
Hope everyone had a nice weekend.


This week we will be celebrating Dr.Seuss! His birthday is on March 2nd. 

In order to honor Dr. Seuss’ birthday, we will be doing many different activities throughout the following week. 

On Thursday have your child come  dressed with any Dr. Seuss item they might have (hat, or thing 1, 2, 3, shirt) 



We invite to you visit the following links with your child. These sites include books, games, activities, and more about Dr. Seuss that you can do with your child at home.




This week we are going to be working with the letter Vv. The vocabulary that we are going to be focusing on is the following: valentine, vulture, vest, volcano, violet, violin, van, veterinarian, vacuum.
If you have any items at home that begin with this letter, send them over with your child and we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we will return them back on Friday. The kids get excited to bring things from home.

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:
We are going to find out what happens when Victor Viper gives his pal Vera a valentine in this very funny tale that teaches the letter V.


 

    












We will continue working with the sight words: her, has all,if, what. We are now up to 50 sight words!!! Please practice them with your child at home!!!
It is important for students to learn sight words in order to help them become fluent readers. Remember that sight words are words students are able to read upon “sight” without having to sound them out. They help facilitate reading comprehension giving students a better opportunity to understand other words in context as they read.


We are going to work with Word Families. These are words that have the same kind of word ending and a changeable first letter. For instance, the "at" word family would include words like cat, pat, rat, that, hat, etc. Words in a family will always rhyme; however, not all rhyming words belong to the same word family. "Hair" and "care" both rhyme, but come from different families. You may want to try the following link for an online game to play with your child.
You may want to try the following link to play with some word families and challenge your child with them.



In Math, we are going to start doing a mini unit about Honduran Money. We will be discussing each one of them and its value. We will be sorting them out by its value. This is also a great opportunity to practice our addition and subtraction skills. 
If you have Honduran coins please send them in. we will return them on Friday.




We continue to learn about animal groups. This week learning about all different kinds of animals. This week our main focus will be learning about AMPHIBIANS!!! We will be discussing their characteristics, and how they are born. We will be learning about the life cycle of a frog!
