Literacy:  Heggerty Lesson Overview Weeks 28-35 :  Week 35.  Students will produce words that rhyme.  Students will isolate the initial sound in spoken words.  Students will learn to blend three phonemes into a spoken word.  Students will continue to practice phoneme isolation with final and medial(vowel) phonemes in spoken words.  Students will learn to segment a spoken word into three phonemes.  Students will manipulate the initial phoneme in a spoken work with adding, deleting, and substituting. Use complete sentences in a discussion.  Shared reading and story comprehension.  What’s my word: Respond appropriately to a text.  Answer questions about a story. Alphabet Knowledge: Recognize and name lowercase letters in your own name.  Blend phonemes.  Demonstrate understanding of the meaning of words. 

Math:  Recognize and create patterns.  Coordinate a sequence of movements.  Participate in classroom music activities.  2D shape sorting.  Concepts of biggest and smallest.  Counting with one item per count.

Science:  An early summer fireworks experiment.  The boys and girls will help make “Fireworks in a Jar”.  Using warm water, vegetable oil, and food coloring they will watch as the color sinks, expand and mix.  This is due to the fact that  food coloring dissolves in water but not in oil.  Because oil is less dense than the water, the oil will float to the top of the jar.  The food coloring droplets will begin to sink because they are heavier than the oil.  Once they sink into the water, they will begin dissolving into the water which looks like a tiny explosion.
