Social Studies: All students will review maps of Pennsylvania and the USA, as well as practice their address, on a daily basis. We will also review current events daily. News-2-You is a new online newspaper/program that we will be using daily in addition to reviewing local news/newspaper websites. The News-2-You online newspaper this week is called "Guninness World Records." I have included a fun, family activity and recipe for you to do, if interested, related to this weekly topic. Please practice general directions with your child daily (NESW).
Writing: All students write their name daily. The students will also be writing in either print or cursive the words that are related to our News-2-You story at the beginning of each week.
Sensory/Motor: Physical activity will be done at least once or more daily. This includes online BrainGym videos, exercises, activities with balls, etc.
Life Skills: This will include cooking, community field trips, daily calendar review, etc. This will also include the grooming/hygiene review twice daily in our classroom. Jobs will also be done on a weekly or as arisen basis.
HW: Most work is done together in class. You may practice letters/sight words and counting daily at home. If a sight word Spelling list is also sent home, practice these daily. Handwriting paper may also be sent home for practice. There may be a decodable reader. that should be read nightly and returned each day. We will practice this story daily in school, also. As we are getting into the News-2-You program more, there will be more academic worksheets to review concepts being taught across the academic areas. You may see some of these coming home for HW if we are unable to complete these during the day. Please assist your child with these and return them daily.
Each week there will be a Science activity and recipe family activities sent home that are aligned with our News-2-You story of the week. There is no obligation to complete these activities, but just making a home/school connection. Feel free to partake if you so choose and can!
