October 15-18, 2018

This week we will continue learning about our abc. We will be working on recognizing the letters with their sound, letter formation, vocabulary of the letter, remember always emphasizing on the short vowel sounds. This week we will be studying about the letter Gg. The vocabulary for this letter is: gate, guitar, grass, goat, green, glue, game, gum, gorilla, girl, goose, grapes

A child will be assigned each week with each letter. In this case, the child assigned should take at least five (5) items that they have at home that begin with this letter. Items should be at school on Monday and we will send them back on Friday. For this week we have Guillermo Ponce . 

***Note: On Thursday, the assigned students, will have to share for 17 friends eatable things such as grapes, gummy bears, guacamole, green candies, letter Gg cookies, etc. for children to taste. We do this to close our letter unit.

The following link you will find a PowerPoint presentation with the vocabulary, in case you would like to review at home with your child.

We are attaching links of some of Letter Gg videos if you would like to listen and sing at home with your kid:

We would like your support on occasionally review the ABC’s letter names and sound. Here are some songs we use in class every day.

Some of the stories we will be reading this week are:

Goldiclocks and the Three Bears, by James Marshall We never tire of the fairy tale adaptations by James Marshall.  This is a special favorite because the main character is so unlike the Goldilocks we’ve met in other versions.  “Goldilocks was one of those naughty little girls who do whatever they please.”  Ignoring warning signs posted all over the trees, Goldilocks takes a short cut right to the bears’ house.  Kids will giggle when she enters their home to find fur everywhere and thinks,“They must have kitties.”

Good Night, Gorilla, by Peggy Rathman Here’s another favorite book, perfect for bedtime.  The zookeeper says good night to all the zoo animals, but the mischievous gorilla follows behind and unlocks all the cages.  With very few words, the pictures tell most of the story


In math, will be working with numbers. We will work on how to represent and recognize numbers using tally marks, ten frames, name of the number, one-to-one correspondence. We will begin working this week with numbers 0-8, missing numbers. We will also be working on sorting items that are big, medium and small



We would like your support on occasionally review counting and 
numbers. Here are some songs we use in class every day:

Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “Humpty Dumpty”

We are attaching you the link of the videos of this song we will be learning throughout the week. We will learn two versions of this nursery rhyme. Just a little tip to have fun at home listening and acting out our song.


In our Social Studies unit we will be talking about Children Around the World. We will be learning about Egypt. Students will get to know the flag, map, traditional dressing, food, drinks, traditional games, money, national animal and national flower and many more things that have to do with the country. If you have any poster or any other material that you are willing to share with the class, we would appreciate if you will let us borrow them from you.
  

Dress Up / Costume Day is around the corner. We are going to be having a celebration on Wednesday, October 31st. On this day students will come to school dressed up as their favorite book or movie character. Students will talk about their character to our class. 
We will also be trick or treating around school. Next week we will send a letter home asking for specific articles or food for this day. If you are not assigned for this celebration , we would request your help in future celebrations.  


Our Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place this Friday, October 19th . Conferences for the first quarter are mandatory at Discovery School. Parents will be contacted this week. You will be getting a note in your child s folder stating the time that has been assigned for your conference.  . There will be NO SCHOOL for students on this day.
