MATH

This week is filled with hands-on activities! We will explore building 3-D shapes using a variety of materials including marshmallows, toothpicks, playdough, tinker toys, and paper. Check for a math post later in the week for pictures! We then move into a short unit on position words. Pete the Cat will help us use correct words to describe where things are located. Check out the story here!

ELA

The sight words we are focusing on are his, are, may and as.  During skills we are doing lots of sound work!! We will practice rhyming through word families. The word family for this week is -en. (Practice asking your child what words rhyme with "pen." Please make sure all their responses are real words~ do not accept pretend words like "fen" or "gen" as an answer.) We will continue practicing segmenting sounds, producing ending sounds for words and writing lowercase letters. 

Our Reading lessons will be about honoring Leaders, ones that we know of at home, at school and ones that lead or have lead our country. We will focus on George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama.
Here is a great Youtube Video that will have you moving! Enjoy!!

SCIENCE 

We are discovering the day time sky. We will carefully observe things we can see and record them in our journals!
