Week 6: Sept. 9 - Sept. 13

Happy September KB families!

We had another great week of learning.  Ask your child what the September virtue is.  They might respond with a word that sounds like "cinnamonship"!

Our virtue winner from last month was Savanna Hulbert.  She showed responsibility by following directions the first time, completing her work and staying on task no matter who she sits next to!
Congratulations Savanna!

Please empty your child's green folder nightly.  It is easy to get over loaded, especially on Friday when we take our papers home from the entire week.

Just a reminder that the yellow book bags contain a list of sight words that should be reviewed nightly.  Eventually, it will contain your child's assigned reading book.  Please have your child bring the bag to school everyday.

Your children took their first phonogram test today!  Please check the green folder for their score.
They also had a math assessment.  The students are good test takers and did a great job!

Here is what we will be learning in the upcoming week.

Spalding:  We will introduce the phonograms “l, m, n, p.” Homework will be the phonograms we introduce plus review of previous taught phonograms to get ready for our second Spalding test on Friday. 

  

Sight Words: are, as, with, his, they, I

Literature:  We will continue to explore Tall Tales this week by reading about Casey Jones, Paul Bunyan, and Pecos Bill.  We will discuss the element of exaggeration by creating our own Tall Tale pets and imagining ourselves as Tall Tale characters. Our proverb of the month is “Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you,” and this will lead us into talking about the “Golden Rule.”  The poem of the week is Happy Thought. 

Math: We will continue our number study by exploring numbers to 10. Students will recognize numbers 1-10 in concrete and pictorial form and represent these numbers in writing using the correct Spalding number formation. We will introduce how to use a ten frame and practice identifying a number that is missing from a sequence. 

Science:  Students will be able to recognize and describe each season.  They will learn the meaning of the words:  hibernation, migration, blossom, seedling, autumn and deciduous trees.
