The next 5 days of instruction will be our 2nd week of Language Arts review. We will continue with sound spelling card review, proper letter formation as well as isolation of initial and final phonemes, and syllable segmentation. We will continue with rhyme identification and begin rhyme generation. Last week we briefly reviewed sequence of events as a strategy for analyzing story structure. This week we will briefly reintroduce the concepts of beginning, middle, and end of a narrative piece.
We will have our first topic test in Math on Wednesday. Look for test results to be posted towards the end of the week. We will begin the study of our second topic (time permitting) on Wednesday, comparing and ordering numbers. This topic reviews the ideas of 'greater than' and 'less than'. This is a short topic which means we will have our second Math test next week.
We will continue our introductory lessons of our violence prevention (Second Step) program. We are on our 3rd lesson. We are learning how to identify emotions based on observation in order to make it easier to foster friendships.
We will continue with last week's PE concepts and add spacial awareness and boundary recognition.

Start Smart Week 1 Preview
In our first unit of learning we will explore some of the things that make people unique. This week we will look at the characteristics of ourselves and others that make us special. Within this idea we will review the simple elegance of the Golden Rule for our Social Science lesson as we reinforce the importance of respecting the differences we discover in others (HSS 1.1.2).
For the first 3 weeks in Language Arts, we will review many of the concepts learned in Kindergarten. We will review the Kindergarten sight words as well as letter sounds and proper writing formation. We will also review rhyme and syllable segmentation. We will be reintroduced to our first thinking maps, the Circle Map and the Bubble Map as we learn how to describe ourselves in order to begin our first theme project: a book about ourselves.
In Math we will review number sense concepts emphasizing visual patterns and ideas for the numbers 0-12.
In Music we will discuss pitch and rhythm.
In PE we will focus on balance and cooperation.
