Week 7: Sept. 16 - Sept. 20

Hello KB families!

I hope this message finds you well and (hopefully) getting ready for some cooler weather!  We had a busy and productive week, as usual.  I am very proud of all their hard work.

Please make note that there is no school this Monday, September 16th.  Great Hearts is holding their annual summit for faculty members.  I look forward to seeing all of your children on Tuesday, the 17th!

Here is what we will be learning this week:

Spalding: This week we will learn the phonograms r, t, u, v while continuing to review all previous learned phonograms.  Please continue to assist your child with their nightly homework. Friday’s test will consist of the first 10 phonograms.   

Sight Words: are, as, with, his. In addition to Spalding homework please review your child’s sight word list each night. Their sightword lists should be kept inside their book bag and brought to school each day. 

Literature:  We will begin to explore Aesop’s Fables by starting with "the Dog and His Shadow.” We will identify the elements of a fable and examine the moral of each fable we read. The weekly poem will be Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone. 

Math:  We are continuing our unit on numbers to 10. We will work on numbers 6-10 this week. We will incorporate numeral cards, ten frames, and an abacus. An assessment will be given on  Friday. 

Science:  Students will recognize the differences between a map and a globe.  Students will learn how to read a map. They will discover various mapping skills.  Students will be able to find Canada and Mexico on the map
