What we’re learning
Welcome to 2011! Hope you had an excellent Christmas.!
Our Bible stories for this week are “Jesus Appears in Glory” and
“Jesus Comforts His Disciples.”
We will be reading “Trucks” and “Communities” in our basal reading books. Our phonics
focus this week is the short “u” sound , c /s/ and g /j/. Math will include writing
numbers 1-10 with words, identifying pairs, and measuring length. For language we are
identifying proper nouns and titles. In P.E. we are working starting a jump rope unit.
