How Does it End? We will learn about how words sound when the onset (beginning sound) is deleted from the word. We will sing a farm song where students need to guess the farm animal or item based on hearing just the rime (entire ending.) We will place a marker to on a picture mat to make our guess.
Letter W- We will learn what the uppercase and lowercase letter Ww looks like. We will sort magnetic letters to find matches for Ww. We will also hunt for them in our names and the names of our classmates. We will use crayons to hunt for them on our papers. Look for upper and lowercase Ww’s at home, in the car or out and about!
Onset Rime Bingo- We will review segmenting words by onset & rime. Using things found on a farm, we will practice saying words by segmenting the beginning sound and entire ending. We will work on a new skill to take away the beginning sound and say only the ending of each word (deleting the onset) to cover a spot on our board.
Letter R- We will learn what the uppercase and lowercase letter Rr looks like. We will sort magnetic letters to find matches for Rr. We will also hunt for them in our names and the names of our classmates. We will use crayons to hunt for them on our papers. Search for Rr’s with your child at home- ask him/her if it is upper or lowercase.
Journal Writing

How Many Animals in the Barn? We will work on our counting and subitizing skills to fill our barn with animals. Using a dot dice, we will roll to determine how many animals to place in our barn using a 10 grid. We will discuss how many animals we have and how many more we need to fill our barn. After playing this game with counters, we will play our final round with dot stickers to make our own animals to take home.
Stuck in the Mud- We will use animals counters to recreate a scene from the Otis story. This time more than one animal will be stuck in the mud. Using our counters we will hide animals under a card and leave some showing. We will have to guess how many animals are stuck in the mud given out total number of animals. Using dot stickers , we will make our own number stories to share
Making Five- We will work to make combinations of 5. Using cube trains, we will start with a given number of cubes (0-4.) We will count on to find out how many more cubes we need to add to make 5 cubes in all. We will record our answers by coloring in the additional cubes on our sheets.
