Language Arts

We will begin a unit on apples.  We will be reading several stories, fiction and non-fiction, about animals and the seasons.  This works perfectly with our Lake Farmpark field trip.  During the field trip, the children will learn how to make apple cider from the apples at the farm.  They will even have an opportunity to taste apple cider!  We will continue practicing fluency with the Apple, Apple on the Tree poem in our poetry folder. 

Phonemic Awareness skills:  letter names, letter sounds, ending sounds, syllables

Math

We will begin a unit on counting.  We have learned some strategies for careful counting.  Ask your child to share these strategies with you.  Also, we are practicing counting from any given number.  We have been practicing counting by 10s to 100.  We are also working hard to learn what number comes next when crossing over a decade.  What number comes after 29, 39, 49...

We are looking forward to our field trip!  Don't forget to pack your child a lunch on Tuesday!
