Math
Objectives: name, recognize and order numbers 1-10; identify and compare basic shapes; recognize solid shapes, identify basic shapes on solids.
- While learning about shapes this week, we will pay special attention to the attributes of each shape. Be sure to incorporate this into your home lessons. Ex: "How do we know this is a square and not a rectangle? A square has four sides that are the same. A rectangle has 2 short sides and 2 longer sides. They both have 4 corners/vertices."
- IMPORTANT: When studying three-dimensional shapes, we will use the correct terminology rectangular prism and not box. Please use the correct terminology at home as well.
- Please have your child complete ws: "Solid Shape Scavenger Hunt". Please return Monday to share with the class.
- **Please continue reviewing numbers 1-10. Students should be able to name each number in isolation, quickly and accurately.
Objectives: to read and accurately blend words that end in a double consonant (ss, ff, ll); to read and accurately blend words that end with "ck"; to begin reading sentences with current sight words and CVC words.

d- make a magic c, go way up and down (one stroke)
e- across to the right, up and around (one stroke)
f- curve to the left, go straight down and cross (two strokes)
g- make a magic c, go up, then way down and curve (one stroke)
h- start at the top, come straight down, back up and one hump (one stroke)
i- start at dotted line, pull down and dot (two strokes)
j- start at dotted line, go straight down and curve (or hook) to the left (one stroke)
- In class we introduced the "bed" trick for telling the difference between lower case b and d.

Hymn Of Joy by Henry Van Dyke
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee,
Opening to the Sun above,
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
