Phonics: Sound and Spelling of Pp. Blending words with the letters: m, p, a, s, t.
Phonemic Awareness: rhyming words, syllables, first, middle and last sounds we hear in words, adding, taking away and replacing words in compound words (or prefixes and suffixes), blending sounds we hear to make a word, and breaking apart words into individual sounds.
Vocabulary: discover, defeated, fetch, tools, rumble.
Math Lesson 5: Compare Numbers to 5 (packets coming home next week)
Special Visitors: We had the chance to learn from the local firefighter department today and get up close to their fire truck! They showed us what it’s like to put on their gear and what to do if there’s a fire. We’re so grateful for Firefighters!
