Reading (ELA):
Main Idea and details- not the easiest concept but they are doing great. We have read a chapter (it's two pages with photos) a day in a non-fiction big book, identifying the main idea and details, and created charts to help us visualize it. After the daily lessons they have responded by answering a question with pictures (and words if able).
Writing- we are still working on the writing strokes. We will be starting letters and letter formations this coming week but for the next few days it will be review of the strokes. I will say that they are getting much more consistent with making them correctly. ***Please note- they will be bringing a sheet home with their name, as well as their letter strokes, in a dotted format- please practice this with them so that you, and they can see and experience the formation of the letters.
Phonological Awareness- we have been working on rhyming words and will continue to do so in review. ** Fun activity: give your child a word, or a pair of words, that rhyme and ask them to come up with more words (and nonsense words are great). You can also give them three words (two that rhyme) and ask them to tell you the one that doesn't rhyme.
Math:
We worked some more with sorting and identifying attributes. This past week we moved on to number recognition, number words, and rote counting. One of our very important skills is counting to 100 by 1's and 10's. We are working with this in the classroom but please reinforce this at home as well. Also- counting (beginning at a random number and they counting up from there). This coming week we will work on positional words and one-to-one correspondence.
