Week of Nov. 13th -17th Letter Uu

November 10,2017
Thank you Valentina for the delicious lasagna!


This week we are going to be working with the letter Uu. The vocabulary words that we are going to be focusing on are the following: upstairs, upside down, underwear, umpire, umbrella,up, and under.


Some stories that we are going to be reading this week are:

Umbrella bird is very unhappy about his unusual feather until they save the day!





Carlos walks into the cloud forest with his green umbrella, where the only sound is the steady, drip, drip, drip of drops falling from the trees.  Carlos is sure that he will see lots of animals--perhaps a toucan, a tapir, maybe the monkey, and if he is lucky, the exotic quetzal bird.  He leaves his umbrella at the foot of a giant fig tree and climbs up for a better look.  Perhaps Carlos should have stayed below, where; first a mischievous tree frog hops into the umbrella, followed by one animal after another, each one larger than the last!

The meanings of "up" are conveyed with merry verse and illustrations in a happy book that celebrates the joy of life.






In Math, we are going to be introducing number 17. 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.







 We will begin discussing nouns  







The sight words we are going to be studying for the next couple of weeks are: four, had, by, can, or.  





We will continue working on ending sounds.
