What We Will Learn This Week:

• Bible - Psalm 139:14 & Jesus Storybook Bible 
• Book of The Week - Runaway Bunny  by Margaret Wise Brown
  
• Phonics/Reading/Writing - We are done with the whole phonics book!!  We will learn 3 new phonic skills this week from Saxon reading.  oo - in book and tooth - Read "Look Who Can Cook" reader; ee - in sheep - Read "Three Rich Sheep" decodable reader. I will send home readers to practice. Please send back the next day.
  Trick Words (practice at home with cards) - Review all words - read quickly (less than a couple of seconds)
  
  Continue to drill these at home and after they can read them, learn to spell them.  Reading sight/trick words increases reading fluency dramatically.  So I am going to start timing the kids read the list of trick words and have them try to beat their time each week.  You can do this at home as well.  If they don't know the word immediately, then they need to work on it.
• Math -  identify shapes (hexagon, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, cube, cylinder, cone) - Make barn using shapes with pastels; raisin experiment; calendar skills
• Centers - Make a book & art project; Assessments 
• Habit -Remembering

Prayer - Mary Michael - healing, wisdom; Henry - job

Looking forward to another great week!
