WEEK 5

WEEK 5- SHAPES AND WEATHER

*This week we will be learning about shapes and weather. The reason that I am combining these two categories is because the weather has many different shapes in it. For example, the sun is a circle and lightning strikes are zigzag lines. Each day we review the letters we have learned in the Alphabet and the numbers we have learned so the children do not forget them. This week we will also begin pen pal week in which our school will organize a pen pal for each of your children to communicate with.

Class Assignments:
- Letters of the alphabet and numbers review activity
-Pages 30-37 the Mathematics textbook
-Chapter 3 in our Language arts textbook
- we will be playing many different games and performing several different activities for the children to learn their shapes
-each day we will go outside and discuss the weather, then record it in our journals.
-I will show several YouTube video clips of weather examples to familiarize the students.

Homework Assignments:
Monday-  Begin to record the weather of each day this week in the packet given in class.
Tuesday- “Color in the shapes” worksheet
Wednesday- “Color in the weather” worksheet
Thursday- bring in 5 objects to tell the class what shape they are
Friday- HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!! :-)

Note to parents: To enhance your child’s learning experience, it would be helpful to begin telling them the weather each day at the beginning of the week. When you are leaving for school say, “today it is cloudy” or “today it is raining”. Later on in the week you should ask them the weather and they should know the basics by then. As for shapes, when you are simply eating dinner ask them what shape their dinner plate is. At any given time in the house it is helpful to pick up objects and tell them what shape it is. Also, I would like to inform you about our field trip coming up to the zoo. I will be posting the permission slip on this blog for you to send back to school with your child. Thanks! – Miss Iannelli
