This week with our Wonders program we will focus on: How do people help out in the community? We will read the book, The Story of Martin Luther King, Jr. The book tells how Dr. King excelled in school, became a minister, and worked to end segregation in America. We will be having many conversations around “what can we do together to make a difference”? Our phonics focus will be the following digraphs: th, sh and ng. Digraphs are difficult because, although they have two letters, the sound that they make is different. Our spelling words are:
fish, shop, ship, with, thing, sang - - want, call We will also be looking at three additional sight words: all, day, her We will NOT be having a spelling test this week. We will continue to practice the words all week long. Reviewing the words with your child will help them to connect this learning to other words with digraphs and blends. Our grammar focus will be nouns. Your children know that a noun is a person, animal, place, or thing. We will be talking about Wants and Needs this week - - perfect timing with the upcoming holiday. This is a difficult concept for children to understand. Can you think of ways to extend this thinking at home, while you are out in the community, or at stores. Just a few reminders for this week: Holiday Brunch: We will be having our holiday celebration on Friday from 8:30 – 9:30. New Boston Food Pantry: we will be heading down to the Food Pantry on Friday. Be sure to return your child’s permission slip. On that paperwork is a list of items that our class will be responsible for. Thank you, in advance, for your help with this wonderful Act of Kindness.
