READING

We are reviewing words that we learned last year. We are working on reading these words independently: I, can, we, like, see, the, go, to, have, a.

We are working on reading color words: red, yellow, blue, green, orange, brown, black, purple, pink, gray.

LANGUAGE 

We are reviewing these sounds at the beginning and ending of words: m, s, t, p, n, k, f, h.

We are reviewing the sound of short a (as in apple).

We are working on naming words that rhyme (mat, bat).

We will practice writing these words by thinking about their sounds:

at, cat, hat, pat, an, can, man, am, ham, Pam

MATH

We will practice reading number words: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

We will be writing numbers 1 to 25.

We will count up to 25. 

We will compare numbers between 1 and 25. (Which number is more? Which number is less?)

SOCIAL STUDIES

We will be learning how to work and learn together. We will learn rules, routines, and procedures that will help our classroom work well.
