Literacy
This week in Jolly Phonics we will learn the letter sounds for r,d,m,g,& o. Please continue to practice them daily at home. We will continue to practice one letter each day in our “Handwriting Without Tears” book. We will begin our Schoolwide Reading Units of Study this week with the Launching Unit. In this unit students will begin to develop an understanding of themselves as readers. They will learn to be a part of a community that values listening, sharing, learning, and reading. We will discuss the qualities of good readers, look at the difference between letter, words, and sentences, and strategies to help them when they read independently. The children will continue to build their Read to Self stamina. Our book of the week is “Colors 1,2,3”, so we will continue our work reading and writing about
colors.

This week the children will continue to practice writing their numbers They will use dominoes to match quantities and continue to develop automaticity with identifying those number quantities. We are counting the number of days we have been in school and we made our first group of ten! Making groups of ten will be something that we talk a lot about this year. We will also continue to work with sorting colors and shapes.
