1.  Kindergarten

     Language Arts- We have been working on reading words from the same word families.  We focused on -at, -am, -an & -ap.  New popcorn words include: will, have, must, one, two & three.  For writing we are focusing on lowercase letter formations.  We met magic c bunny and learned about how he helps us to make the letters c, o, and s.

   Math- We continue to work with numbers 1-20.  We are practicing adding and subtracting using all sorts of manipulatives.

   
   

   1st grade tier 3 reading- We worked on recognizing words that have a y as their ending to make a long i or e sound.  We also looked at the -ay pattern that makes a long a sound.  We are looking at words that begin with consonant clusters so far we have focused on sm-,sl-,st-,sk-,tr-, gr-,br-, & fr-.  Some of the daily books are becoming more challenging.  Make sure you practice reading them at home to build up fluency.

   Language Arts- We learned the sounds "ar" and "er" to complete all of the jolly phonics sounds for the year. Our new popcorn words were: look, good, & jump. We finished working on uppercase letter formations and will begin lowercase next week.

   Math- Our math centers all revolved around the celebration of our 100th day of school.  We traced our hands and counted the fingers by 5's to 100.  We made a bubble gum machine with 100 gumballs.  We made fruit loop necklaces with 100 pieces of cereal strung to them.

   
   

   1st grade tier 3 reading- We brainstormed words that end in -ing.  We learned about contractions and located them in the stories that we read this week.
