December 5-9

This week we worked on our phonics skills and began working on the letters s and t in our workbooks. We practiced the sounds of the s and t words to practice our letter recognition skills and worked on learning and remembering our new s and t vocabulary words from our phonics section. For writing this week we continued working on the letter q and began working on the letter p. It's very important that we can differentiate between the letter p and q as well as the sounds they make. We completed a couple fill in the correct letter sheets where we had to identify the sound and write the correct letter while focusing on p and q. We added a number of new p and q words to our vocabulary to help us practice our letter recognition skills. We focused on reading and sight words this week by adding a number of new words to our list! We completed a number of activities including sticky ball sight words to practice remembering the words on sight quickly! We are also beginning to learn how to spell and recognize colours such as red, blue, yellow, purple, orange, and green. We worked on improving our math skills with writing and recognizing the numbers 1-30. We completed a number of worksheets and played a few fun game to practice and improve our math skills. This month we've begun the theme of seasons and we began with winter since it is winter! We talked about the weather we see in writer and different activities that we can do in the winter such a skating, building snowmen, and sledding. We watched a short cartoon about skating in the winter time to strengthen our understanding of winter and the vocabulary used to describe winter weather and activities.
