Week of March 16,2015

 

Dear Parents,

 

THANK YOU: Thank you to our Room Moms and their helpers who hosted our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. The children had a wonderful time. We appreciate all the parents who sent in food and supplies also.

 

Here is an overview of this week:

 

Ÿ  Religion: We will be talking about how our families celebrate special days at home. What foods, music and games do they enjoy? The objectives in our “Seeds” lesson will include:

Ÿ  The children will identify different ways of sharing bread.

Ÿ  The children will thank God for giving us life and food.

Ÿ  The children will recognize loving and unloving actions involving sharing with others.

 

Math:      Continue our discussion of measuring tools, including thermometers, scales, measuring tapes and cups. Measuring tools let us know how hot, how heavy, how wide, how long and how tall things are around us. We will start a new BIG BOOK called “Parts of a Whole” and learn the meaning of the word divide and how parts make up a whole.

 

Science:  We will talk about the panda bear.

 

SRA READING:   Topics will include the following:

Ÿ  Extend a sentence with additional words.

Ÿ  Introduce the letters and sounds of Rr and Gg.

Ÿ  Identify the beginning and ending sounds of Rr and Gg in words.

Ÿ  Blend final consonant sounds.

Ÿ  Add beginning consonant sounds to __ig:__ip: __et:

Ÿ  ___at: ___ug: ___an.

Ÿ  Identify the number of syllables in a word.  

 

Have a great week!
