Language arts ~ week 1

Now we moved our attention back to 

learning our letters.  

This time we are focusing on lower case.

Matthew has been going crazy to learn lowercase

letters.  He sees words in print and all around and wants

to try to sound them out, but without the familiarity to 

the lowercase it is really hard.  

Finally, we got to learn about them!

We talked about letters and matched 

up the big and little letters.  

I wrote them out on big sheets of 

paper.  We looked at them a lot to 

become familiar. 

We read two fairy tales this week and

did them in a two day rhythm.  

First, I told the story

The next day we recounted it and drew about it.

We wrote a short summarizing sentence.

We used our alphabet properly for practice.

Sample work

We practiced and practiced our lower case 

all week.

We also changed up some of our time with movement.

I attempted to teach the children the beginnings of juggling.

They had a lot of fun with this!!


We also took advantage of our unseasonably warmer
weather and climbed trees. 

The big highlight of the week was my Mr. Wesley
turned 5 years old!!
He wanted to skate for his birthday so we celebrated
with a hockey party!

Happy big 5

until next week
