Parent Update September 16, 2012 (week 6-7)

I’m hoping to have all of our recent pictures posted soon.  I’m sorry that I didn’t realize they weren’t showing up on the blog.  I know everyone is anxious to see the picture of the lizard!   We celebrated Ms. Mallory’s birthday on Monday and Lexi’s on Thursday.    We made newspaper hats to help us remember the “at” family and owls for our new Fall bulletin board.   We also made owls for our Fun Friday snack! 

This week we will focus on:

Sight Word “my” , Word Family  “op” , Number “13” , Shape “octagon”

Art Concepts - texture

Language Arts  Concepts  - Blending onsets and rimes, Concepts of print (L-R progression, tracking words, return sweep)

Poem                                            Five Little Squirrels

Five little squirrels with acorns to store.
One went to sleep and then there were four!
Four little squirrels hunting acorns in a tree.
One fell down, and now there are three!
Three little squirrels wondering what to do.
One got lost, and now there are two!
Two little squirrels tossing acorns for fun.
One got tired, and now there is one!
One little squirrel playing in the sun.
He ran away, now there are none.

For Show and Tell this week, students are to collect 5 interesting textures to put in the lunch bag provided.  They should be prepared to use a describing word for each texture.  We will discuss, sort and count the different textures on Friday. (examples – bumpy, smooth, rough, fluffy)
