Literacy Writing

We will be reading books that go along with our
theme and focus on the essential questions:
How can I relate to the character in a book?
In our leveled literacy centers we are reading
books at our academic level with a focus of 1:1
word correspondence and asking questions
while we read.
Sight Words: play (we, am, you, at, was, it,
can, see, is, to, I, like, the, my, us, will)
With assistance, students will write the
beginning sounds they hear in a word. We are
doing many activities sounding out CVC words.
Cat, hat, dog, bed, kid, cut are examples of
consonant, vowel, consonant words.
We will begin out opinion writing unit. We will
learn that an opinion is something someone
thinks for feels about something.

In phonics we will be working on CVC words.

We will be going over vowels and consents.

Math Theme-Gingerbread Man

We will be finding and describing solid shapes

and comparing them to flat shapes.

We will also be discussing position words: next

to, below, above, behind, in front of and
besides.
We will start counting collections to continue to
help build our number sense.
Looking at Gingerbread Man stories we will look
at the characters actions and thoughts. We will
also look for similarities and differences in
characters, setting and plot.

Suggested homework:
Make sure your child can read this unit’s sight words: will, us (we, am, you, at, was, it, can, see, is, to, I,
like, the, my)
