Our Math focus this month
MAth: Comparing Lengths and Heights
Our focus this month will be enhancing our comparing skills. We will be comparing our own heights, lengths of various writing utensils, as well as heights of blocks and different objects. You can enhance their learning a number of ways, such as asking who is taller at home, which sock is longer, or which appliance is taller.
Heights
We will be utilizing a height chart in class to compare heights and see who is taller or shorter.
Different Objects
We will be comparing heights of different household items, such as canned goods or cups.
Socks
I will be bringing different socks to allow the kids to compare the different lengths.
How many apples high?
We will also be using an Apple Height Chart to compare our heights to each other to see who is the tallest classmate or the shortest classmate.
Our Literary Focus this Month
Reading: sight word recognition
For reading, we will be practicing our sight words as well as our fabulous words. We are also working on our Writing, and making sure that we capital the first word in the sentence, adequate spaces, as well as punctuation.
Fabulous words!!!
These are the top 100 words used in the English language.
Sight Words
These are our basic sight words for this unit. Some of these words are also on our Fabulous words
Next Unit's Sight Words
This is just a preview of the sight words for next month. Some words are repeated to ensure the child retains the word.
Social focuses
Sharing and "Please"
I will be focusing specifically on sharing and saying 'Please' for this month. Sharing is a good way for students to be nice and not snatch things from each other. You can help integrate these at home by having your child say "Please" when he or she wants something, and asking if they want to share a snack.
