Grape Class September 29 - October 3

This week we worked on letter recognition, with the emphasis on the letter c. We worked on our penmanship with the focus on the letter c. We worked on building our vocabulary with many new words beginning with the letter c. We also continued working on our spelling skills by arranging letters in the correct order. This weeks key sentences patterns were - "I am a boy", "I am a girl". Today it is sunny/rainy/windy. This week month theme is weather and Halloween. We worked on identifying different types of weather, such as rainy, sunny, stormy, windy, and cloudy. We also continued working on patterns: which is the foundational skill for understanding sentence patterns - in particular understanding the patterns helps us understand how letters are arranged in words, and how words are arranged in sentences. For sentence patterns we have been practicing "I am a boy", "I am a girl", "I am wearing a yellow shirt/pink dress/orange shorts" and so forth. We added more sight words to our sight word recognition, which we were able to quickly identified as we read story books this week. We finished the week up with identifying rhyming words and short vowels with a fun puzzle! We had a wonderfully productive week learning and having fun and I can't wait to see my Grape classes smiling faces on Monday morning!
