This week in phonics we will work on the letter Gg. We will continue with show and tell on Friday with the focus on objects having the beginning sound of g. We will also read and enjoy a classic story "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" and take turns acting out the characters using some stick puppets.
In math, we have just completed our first assessment on shapes. We are moving into the next group of lessons which will be covering sorting objects by color; using words like inside, in front of, behind, and outside to describe position, and also will be describing shapes by the number of sides and corners.
In reading, we are going on to our second story titled, "Fix It Duck". The children will enjoy listening to the main character "Fix It Duck" trying to fix things for his friends. The focus skill will be to identify the setting of a story.
In science, we are continuing our study of trees. We will incorporate a study of apples into this. If possible, I would like each student to bring in an apple to school on Monday. We will sort all the apples we get by color, size, etc.. We will graph the apples by type and we will get to taste test different kinds. Friday we will culminate this study by making applesauce as a special treat!
