Week 12: October 28th to November 1st

Hello KB families!

I enjoyed meeting with all of you this week.  It's wonderful to share the pride we have in our children. They have worked hard and accomplished so much already.

Please remember that we have an academic break on Monday and there is no school!  Mrs. Woinarowicz will be back to greet your children on Tuesday, the 29th!

I want to thank Mrs. Zavala and Mrs. Santana for sharing the responsibility of supporting and guiding your children over the last few weeks and months.  I feel blessed to work alongside such intelligent and compassionate people!

Here is what we will be learning this week.

Math:  Students will work through different patterns. They will identify shapes that can be used to make patterns. They will also use colors and orientation to extend patterns.

Spalding: This week we will continue to learn two letter phonograms adding new phonograms to the nightly homework. We will introduce two partner phonograms and we will also learn our first cues to differentiate the phonograms with the same sound. Our phonograms will be ai (cue: not used), ay, oi (cue: not used), oy.  We will practice recognizing these phonograms in words and continue to review

the first 30 phonograms. 

Sight Words: This week we will introduce list 4:but, not, what, all, were, we, when, your, can, word

 Literature: This week will explore two more of Aesop’s Fables, “The Lion and the Mouse,” and “The Stork and the Fox.”  We will dive into the morals of each story and identify the story elements. Our poem will be Diddle Diddle Dumpling.

Science:  Students will be able to share facts about Louis Braille.  They will make a craft using Braille writing.
