Oak Hill Community School

Mr. Wucherer’s Classroom News (Sept. 25th-Sept. 29th)

A Peek At The Week:  Reading will find us continuing to work on our sight words.  Please review the, I, and can.  Our essential question for the week is, What can you do?  We will continue to review words that rhyme and count syllables in words.  Lastly, we will look for words that start and contain the letter (m) and Ss-Zz.  We will keep working on writing our numbers 0-10, 0-20 and look for patterns on the hundred chart. We will begin to study positional words like, above, below, next to, under and behind.  Students will take a walk around school and search for patterns in our environment.  Lastly, we will discuss what kids should do during an emergency, how to read a map and learning to get what they need in Social Studies.

Looking Ahead:  We will be starting more testing and creating small groups during our center time.  During Math we will continue to be learning about numbers and comparing the height of objects.  Students will use the words, longer, shorter, taller and smaller.  We will continue our study of patterns and begin sorting.  Please continue writing the numbers 0-20 at home.  Reading will find us discussing fantasy and informational texts, once again.  Our essential question is: How can we get along with new friends?  We will continue to discuss nouns and reading/listening for good comprehension.  We will discuss vocabulary words like: friend, problem, grasped, escape and rescue.  We will be looking for words that also have the short a sound.   Science will be trees, trees, and trees!  We will also be working on all 60 of our sight words.  Please feel free to have your child write a sentence or two with these sight words and bring them in to share with the class!!
