The idea of a word beginning with their names, actions and through stories. Breaking words into syllables by counting “claps” blending syllables to determine words. Writing- Children use illustrations, labelling, and dominant sounds to record stories they think of. Stories most often reflect real life experiences as they are easy to write about. They are encouraged to use stories with the sight words. Zoo Phonics! – 26 animals at the zoo will help us learn to read and write. Students have begun to build a “word wall” of High Frequency words as a reference for reading and writing.  I  a  am  see   at   can   come  the I am hoping to post the wall soon!    Math-   Numbers from 1-5; Students go beyond counting and explore numbers as they relate to quantities, and each other.  Key skills are recognizing more/fewer, counting on and back from a given number, Part Part Whole- various combinations to make a certain amount.
