Kindergarten
   Language Arts- Our song for the week was "Spiders All Over Me".  The students are doing a great job when it comes to locating their popcorn words within the various songs we sing.  We learned about the letter u and l.  We followed directions to make an umbrella and a lion.  We are focusing on words that rhyme.  At home you can read some rhyming book (Dr. Seuss is known for this) and have your child pick out or predict the words that rhyme.
  Fine Motor- We worked on the letters B and R.  They are both "frog jump" letters.
  Math- We made spiders to hang in our classroom, but first practice our positional vocabulary with them.  Making them move over, under, above, below, behind...We made patterns while working the 2-D shapes that the students need to know: square, circle, rectangle, triangle and hexagon.  We made AB, AAB, ABB and ABC patterns with cubes.  We also learned about patterns that grow.

RTI- 1st grade reading tier 3
  We read the stories, "Ant Can't", "Eggs", and "Where Things Grow".  We completed our alphabet linking chart.  We worked on syllables, rhyming and beginning sounds.
