Week 21 January 21st - 25th Letter Ii

January 21, 2019

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone enjoyed their long  weekend. We are ready for a 

week filled with learning and challenges!

*********Friday is Early Dismissal . Students will leave school at 11:45************

One Hundred Days of School is right around the corner! We will be celebrating this milestone on January 30th. The students will wear a t-shirt with 100 objects on it. ( Use the front side of the t-shirt only).  This project will be done at home. You can be as creative as you like.

   

This week we are going to be working with the 

letter Ii. The vocabulary that we are going to be 

focusing on is the following: Indian, ink, 

invitation, instruments, itch, igloo, iguana, 

insects, and internet. 

If you happen to have any item at home that begins with this 

letter, have your child bring it to school so it can be displayed on a special table. Thanks in advance!

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

Iggy Iguana thinks ice is nice! We will find out how he uses his imagination to beat the heat!!

This is the story of one very smart little inchworm. As the story begins, he is about to be an addition to a robin's meal as the robin is hungry and the little inch was quite available. But unfortunately for the robin, this was one fast thinking little worm and he convinces the robin that he is a very useful creature. He offers to measure the robin's tail. Of course the robin is quite impressed (he found that his tail was five inches long, which pleased him greatly) so he takes the little worm to the other birds.

The sight words that we are going to introduce this week are: 
an, look, play, said, up. 

Please take 15 minutes every day to practice them at home with
 your child. It is very important for all of them to recognize all the sight words we have covered in class so far. Once they can recognize sight words it is going to be a lot easier for them to read books. 

We will introduce the concept of addition. We will be adding up to 5. The students are all very excited to start solving problems that involve adding.We will also discuss the concepts of before and after. We will also be counting by 5's and 10's up to 100. Please practice this skill at home with your child.

This week in Science we will begin our unit on Plant and Animal Survival.We will begin by filling in a KWL chart about plants and animals and introduce the vocabulary.
