Don't forget to scroll down to see pictures from our week! Here's a look at next week:
Spalding: We
will continue to learn our double letter phonograms this week by adding 5 new
phonograms. When saying phonograms with cues you will say the sound, have
your child repeat it, then give them the cue, your child will not repeat the
cue.
Cues
are:
er
(her)
ir
(first)
ur
(nurse)
wor(works)
ear(early)
If
you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Sight Words: This week we will begin
reviewing list 4 and adding it to your child’s sight word ring soon.
Literature: This week our story will be
another African trickster tale, “The Great Tug-of-War.” Our poem will be,
“There Once was a Little Girl.” Please continue to read nightly with your
child as well as practice their sight words. They are off to a great
start!
This
week we will use part of our literature time to give our students an
opportunity to complete their first service project.We would love to show our
students the satisfaction of giving back and helping others. For November
students will write thank you letters to the troops for Veterans Day. Our
kindergarten goal is to write 200 letters! If your family would like to
participate you are more than welcome to send letters in your child’s green
folder and I will turn them in.
Math: Our
unit for this week will be covering length and size. We will begin by using
every day items to measure school supplies and ourselves! These items will
include unifix cubes, paper clips, yarn, and various body parts. We will use
the language of shorter, longer, tallest, smallest.
Science: We are exploring magnets this week!
Students will learn that magnets have 2 poles and that they can attract and
repel other magnetic things. Scholars will get to experiment with magnets
around the classroom. They will predict what things a magnet will attract and
what it will not.
History: We will be learning about the
continent of Europe. Scholars will become familiar with the names of a few
countries in Europe as well as their famous landmarks. We will learn more about
European castles and why castles were important in medieval times.
