Literacy
 
Jolly Phonics: We have learned and will review S, A, T, I., P, N, C, K, E, H.  We will learn R and M this week.
 
ABC Boom: We say the following sounds as we make the strokes.
  • Plop: Most letters "start in the sky and drop down to the ground”. We use tall plops to form upper case letters and lower case letters like Tt, Ll, and Hh. We use short plops to make lower case letters like m, n, and r.
  • Vroom: This is the horizontal stroke that goes from left to right. We use it to start lower case e and we also use it in upper case letters such as T, E, F, A, Z, and H.
  • Boing: This is a curved stroke that reminds us of a hop. We use it to create the curve in letters such as h, m, and n.
  • Blowing Sound: This stroke makes a circle.  We imagine blowing a pinwheel as it goes around in a circle.  We use it to make Oo and Q
  • Splash: We picture a fish or a dolphin splashing in the water to make a U shape.  We find this stroke in U, u, q
  • Prrrshhh: We think about a rocket taking off.  We start from the bottom and go straight up.  We find it in a, d, g, q, N
  • Beep, Beep: We think about a truck backing up.  This is the opposite of vroom.  We find it in G, and we can also use it instead of vroom for the tops of F and E.
 
Writing:
  • We are making our own individual apple pies this week!  We will be making them, eating them, then writing about the procedure.  We will focus on sequencing the events and drawing them in the correct order.
  • We will be using our 1-4 picture rubrics to help us self-assess our own stories and decide what we need to do to become even better writers.
