As a large group we completed a chart of things we see in Spring. One of the Kindergarten children explained to the group, he knew it was spring because his mommy told him it was. This week we will complete a chart on things we hear in Spring.

 

The By Heart word for this week is "this". Thank you for practising the By Heart words with your child. When the children are writing with me, they tell me that is a By Heart word and go to the board and get the word to assist with their spelling.

 

 

The children will listen to a story titled Picture a Tree. After listening we will talk about what they see when they picture a tree. Then the children will have an opportunity this week to create a scene from the story using plasticine on a paper plate.

 

 

The Jolly Phonic sound for this week is "h" sound. I try to find as many three or four letter words with the sound as possible. Some of the words are:  he, has, had, hat, hand, hen, hall, hip, hill, hop, hog, hit, him, hid, hut, hint, his and hot.

 

 

During teacher read aloud the children will continue to share what the problem was in the story and how the problem was solved. Before finding out the author's solution to the problem, the children will be asked to share their ideas for a solution to the problem.
