Tuesday, October 29

Letter Study: Nn
 Popcorn Word: do

Phonological Awareness: Sound Discrimination: Two students with names that begin with different letters, will come to the front of the room while we stretch out the beginning sound of their name. We say a chant that goes like this:
Sue and Paul are our friends.
Say their names with me.
/s/ /s/ Sue, /p/ /p/ Paul.
One starts with /s/.
I wonder who it can be?
We continue this until all kids have a turn.
Segment Words by Syllables: Using a poem about bunnies, we will clap the
multi-syllabic words throughout

 Handwriting: N (Big line down, frog-jump back to the top, big line down and back up.)
Writer's Workshop: The kids will be introduced to their 'Writer's Journal' today. It's a notebook that we will use to put our words, letters, numbers, phrases, or sentences into.


DAILY 5: Is your child practicing their word list every day? Some lists are starting to come in and the children are getting excited about learning their words!


Math: Comparing Names
The kids built their name towers yesterday with connecting cubes. Today, they will compare their own name to each of their friends' names to see if it is longer, shorter, or the same. Their work focuses on:
~Developing language for comparing lengths (Long, longer than, short, shorter than, the same, equal to.)

Smart Room: Today is the last day for our October theme. I will be posting pictures and descriptions of the stations to come.
~Have you heard about the Locker Fairy yet? Each day she hangs around the lockers in search of a clean and tidy locker. If she finds one, she leaves a prize and a note!

* Remember to send in your part of our Fall Party treat.  A list was sent home in your child's Wednesday Envelope with one circled item for you to contribute.
