Week 19- December 16-18 ~ half days Tuesday and Wednesday

Happy Friday families! We had another busy and fun week in KB and our kiddos earned themselves a popcorn party!! We are so proud of their hard work. Next week is a short week.
Happy Birthday Valentina!

Spalding: This week we will review words and phonograms. There will be no test.  Please continue to review phonogram cards each night.

We recently learned the "ers," in Spalding and they can be a little tricky. We use the sentence "her first nurse works early" to help students remember each "er".  We use the words as cues so the students know which "er" we want them to write or say. When you are practicing at home you should be saying these cues as well. 

er (as in her)  ir (as in first)
ur (as in nurse) wor (as in works)
ear (as in early) 

Sight Words: Review all 6 lists.


Literature: This week we will explore the silly Story/Poem, “There was an Old Lady.” We will read different versions and compare/contrast them as well as sequence the events.  We will still be reading with students this week so please be sure to send your child with their book bag. This will give students an opportunity to get a new book to read before break.  Please be sure to keep reading while away from school. 

Math: 
After working on sets that have more, this week we will work on sets that have less.  We will then review more or less and have an assessment on Friday.


History: We will learn all about the real life of Saint Nicholas. Students will learn that he gave to those in need out of love and kindness. Students will get to make a craft to give to someone they love.
