Here's what's happening in kindergarten this week.
Spalding: This week we will learn two more partner phonograms ew and ui (cue: not used). We will have five spelling words again can, see, run, the, in ; refer to your child’s homework for the correct markings of words. We will continue to add two phonograms to the homework. Please be sure that you are reviewing phonogram cards on a daily basis as our phonograms increase in difficulty.
Sight Words: We will review list 3 and test on Friday.
Literature: We will continue reading the Velveteen Rabbit and finish our story this week. To finish off our unit students will be allowed to bring in one small, non-pop culture, stuffed toy to school on Friday! This can be an animal or doll that is special to your child, however, it may not be a character from a show or movie. Please limit the size so that it is able to sit in their lap at their desk, and not interfere with the learning environment. This week we will also be making cards to bring to a nearby nursing home to spread holiday cheer! We will send out more information soon on the time and place so that your family may join us in delivering the cards and singing Christmas Carols! Our Poem will be “Little Jack Horner."
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.
Geography and Science: We will be exploring the continent of Antarctica and the Arctic this week. Scholars will learn about the weather and climate at the north and south poles of the world. They will learn all about polar animals and how they survive in the cold. We will do an experiment on blubber to see how that extra layer of fat helps keep some animals warm. Students will learn more about penguins too!
