What We
Are Learning
Reading: We added the Listen to Reading element to our
Daily Five Literacy Café this week. Ask your child about the Raz-Kids app they
used on our classroom iPads. We also learned that readers read with expression
using our reading voice.
Alphabet:
We learned how to identify and write the letters Yy & Zz. We rotated
through several centers to practice them. Ask your child which center they
enjoyed the most (finding hidden letters with a magnifying glass, using stamps
to spell popcorn words, using a clothesline to arrange letters of the alphabet
in order, and filling in the missing alphabet letter).
Writing: We
continued to practice using the popcorn words in our writing this week and
using words to match our pictures. We
also started adding ending punctuation to our sentences and spaces between
words.
Math:
During math this week, we reviewed how to identify and write numbers 6-9. We
rotated through math centers to help us practice. Ask your child which activity
they enjoyed the most (number of the day worksheet, roll a number with dice, finding
hidden numbers with a magnifying glass, or writing numbers to 20).
Theme:
We learned that we have four seasons in a year. Ask your child about how apple
trees change during these four seasons.

Raz-Readers
This week I sent home information about a website called
Raz-Kids.
This is a great website that allows your child to have access to
hundreds of eBooks. You can also download a fee app for your iPad/iPhone or Android
device as well.

Happy Reading!
Popcorn Words
Popcorn words are words
that “pop-up” a lot when we read. These are high frequency words that your
child needs to be able to read automatically without using a strategy to figure
them out.
This week’s words:
a, up, at
Previous words:
I, see, am, we, to, the,
is, my, can, me, & go
