Hess Grape November 17-21

This week we continued working hard in our phonics books and completing many worksheets. We worked on the letters l and m this week. We learned many new vocabulary words, which we practiced with worksheets and many games. We also reviewed letters a - m so that we can practice recognizing the sound each letter makes. We played a fun game called "erase the letter" in which I would say a word and the first person to recognize the letter, erase it, and say the letter gets a point! It has been a great way and fun way to practice the alphabet letters. We focused on writing this week we the emphasis on the letter j. We learned many new j words and we practiced how to properly write a big and small j. This week for math we worked on worksheets in our math book and we practiced our numbers by writing them out and using blocks to add numbers. We had a lot of fun learning while we played with blocks! This week we continued our theme of thanksgiving by colouring a thanksgiving Turkey, and learning about thanksgiving through a short cartoon about thanksgiving! We continued working on out sight words - we practiced the ones we've previously learned and added new ones to learn. We practiced our sight words with a game and by reading a book together. Finally we have begun practicing our speeches for our upcoming Christmas party. It's very important that we practice every day so that we can do a really good job! We had a very productive and fun week and I can't wait to see my students bright and smiling faces on monday morning!
