Mrs. Johnson’s Newsletter October 3, 2016

Conferences-We will have parent/teacher

conferences at the end of the month. I will send out

a sign-up sheet later this week or the beginning of

the following week.

Sounds of the Week-This week we will be focusing

on the /n/ sound like nail and /m/ like in milk.

Sight Words- we (and, I, like, the, a, see)

Writing- Our writing process: 1. Think of an idea 2.

Kid Write 3. Draw about it 4. Adult writing. This is a

list of things we have discussed in our writing.

Sentences always start with a capital letter. Spaces

are put between our words. The letter I is always

capital when it’s alone. Periods are used when you

are making a statement. Question marks are used

when you are asking a question. Names of people

are capitalized.

Reading- This week we will be reading Goldilocks

and the Three Bears. Our focus will be questioning

and sequencing of events.

Math- Students will use comparative language to

describe the comparison of 2 numbers up to 20.

Students are expected to read and write the

numbers 0-20 and use written numbers 0-20 to

represent the amount within a set.

Science-We will be learning how heating and cooling

can change objects. Heating materials can cause

them to melt or change in some other way. Cooling

materials can cause them to freeze or change in

some other way. We will record our observations

about how materials are changed by heating and

cooling.

Social Studies-This week we will be learning

Columbus Day.

Practice letters and sounds daily if your child

still hasn’t mastered them. Sort capital and

lower case letters. Recognize and order numbers

0-20. Counting to 100 and counting backwards

from 20. Practice weekly sight words. Please

make sure that you are reading with your child

for at least 15 minutes a night. Your child not

only needs to read (if he/she is capable) but

he/she needs to be able to hear books being read

fluently and with intonation.
