Open Court Lessons

Nov. 2-6  Here we begin turning over the letter sound cards.  Each letter has a sound card story that the children will learn.  We will focus on beginning as well as ending sounds for each consonant.  We will also begin focusing on short and long vowel sounds. We will begin with the letter Ss.  The children will begin formal letter writing by practicing the letters on a worksheet.  These lessons will occur once or twice a week

November 2-13 brings us a short themed science unit about nocturnal animals. Bonnie, with Classroom Safari, does a wonderful job of introducing this subject to young children.  After seeing the animals and learning scientific facts about their physical characteristics  and life styles the children will then be able to write and illustrate their own stories .   We’ll use these pages to make a class book!  Vocabulary to be introduced:
