WEEK OF DECEMBER 6-10, 2010

KINDERGARTEN NEWS
In Phonics this week we will study the consonant Ff as in fish. We will have show 'n tell on Friday! Your child has studied the letters: Ll, Oo, Gg, Hh, Tt, Pp, Aa, Nn, Mm, Ii and Ss. S/he should recognize these letters and their sounds (short and long sounds for vowels).
In Reading we will continue with the story, "Bear Snores On." This story includes the letter Cc (when it sounds like a Kk), new high frequency words: we, like, my) and the concepts of reality versus fantasy. By week's end , we will start a new story, "A Bed for Winter."
In Math we will solve a problem by acting it out or drawing a picture. We will practice paying for items up to 10 cents with pennies. We will copy patterns and identify an AB pattern. On our December calendar students are learning to identify the shape-trapezoid!
