  Reading 

We read a story this week- Arthur's Perfect Christmas.  This is a cute story about Arthur's idea of what Christmas should be like.  Many of the students knew the story. We got to watch the movie today as well. :)

Jolly Phonics 

  This week we learned the letters y and x and the actions that goes with them.  Ask your child what sounds they make and what actions go with those sounds. :)  We also learned the popcorn words yes and no.  Please practice the words at home. 

Math 

  We have finished learning about teen numbers, we have been practicing counting up to 100 in different ways.  Also, counting up from a random number.  Please keep practicing teen numbers at home.  We did math centers where the students had to stamp with numbers 11-20, making patterns with holiday cookies, math games on the i-pad, missing number elves, matching hershey kiss numbers with the base ten blocks, and reindeer ten frames.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the letter y and x in handwriting this week.  We read The Grinch Who Stole Christmas and made a Grinch craft.  They had fun with these.

  Reading 

We read a story this week- A Turkey for Thanksgiving.  This is a cute story about a group of animals who want to have a turkey sit with them at their Thanksgiving meal, however, he thinks they want to eat him.  The students enjoyed it and we were able to practice some sequencing with it.  We learned some new words with the story: Thanksgiving, hooves, riverbank, and lumbered.

  We are continuing to practice more with teen numbers.  We did math centers where the students had to stamp with numbers 6-10, turkey teens ten frame book, math games on the i-pad, counting on with turkeys, what comes next?, pilgrims and native americans on a ten frame, and count up to 20 with dominoes.

Writing/ Handwriting 

We practiced the letter Gg and a review page in handwriting this week.  We made  2 turkey crafts today.  They were fun- one is hanging up in the room and the other will come home next week when we finish it.  I want to laminate them in case you want to use it for a place mat at Thanksgiving. :)
