This week we are going to be working with the letter Yy. The vocabulary that we are going to be focusing on is the following:

Yarn, yo-yo,yard, yellow, yawn, yogurt, yak, yolk.

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:

The five sight words for this week are: little make him who out.

Please practice these words at home with your child every day.

In Phonemic Awarenes we will be continuing with digraphs. The digraph that we will be studying this week is Th.

In language, a digraph is two letters or characters that make a single sound when pronounced, also known as a phoneme. The sound made by the digraph is usually noticeably different than the pronunciations of the individual letters would be. Bath, teeth/tooth, moth, mouth, both, with, Thursday, three, thumb.

In Math we are going to be introducing place value. The children will read numbers and identify the place value of each digit up to one hundred.

In Science we will continue learning about the planets. Our focus will be on

Earth and Mars. This unit has been of a lot of interest to the children. They love learning facts about each of the planets. Ask them questions and you will be surprised of all the things they know of each one of them.
