It Must be Almost Christmas!

Well, here we are a week closer to Christmas!

We will be reviewing previous vocabulary words this week. We won't have any new words until after Christmas.

We have finished up working on "u" and will be working on "z" in phonics. We will talk about how when you hear a /z/ sound at the beginning of a word we write a "z" but when you hear it in the middle or end of a word (such as "is") we write an "s." At the end of the week we start working on "c" and will finish it up next week. "C" should be easy since we did it in reading already. When we did "k" we talked about how when you hear a /k/ sound, if the next letter is an "e," "i," or "y" you use a "k," but if the next letter is any other letter, you use a "c." We also are learning how a "k" only says /k/ but a "c" says /k/ and /s/. If an "e," "i," or "y" comes after a "c," the "c" says /s/.

In math we are comparing things that are larger or smaller, and continuing working on numbers 1-10.

In writing we finished up writing and illustrating Santa Sees. This week we will be writing, It Must be Almost Christmas.
