Happy New Year KB Families! I hope you are enjoying time with loved ones. I have been blissfully enjoying the Wisconsin winter with my family; 6 inches of fresh snow last night. It is quite beautiful and peaceful!
I'm excited to see everyone's smiling faces!

Here's a look at our first week of the new year!
Spalding: We will begin our week by learning two new double phonograms igh and kn (cue: two letter, beginning). Our five spelling words will be so, no, man, now, the (as review). So, no, and the all follow rule 4, “when the a vowel can say it’s name at the end of a syllable.” Students will no longer be required to add markings on homework.
Sight Words: This week will review list 4. Now that we have reviewed all 4 lists we have taught we will begin introducing new sight words the following week.
Literature: This week we will explore the Native American legend, “The Story of Jumping Mouse.” We will search for virtue in the story and do a character study on the mouse. Our poem will be Old Mother Hubbard.
Math: We will begin Book B this semester. Student will take the skills they learned last semester with more and less and find sets that are one more or one less. They will continue to compare numbers and use words such as greater than and less than.
Science and Geography: This week students will explore the
oceans of the world. They will learn the names of the major oceans and point to
them on a map. We will spend time learning all about the various ocean animals
and will explore more in depth information about sharks and octopuses. Students
will enjoy writing about the ocean animals they’re introduced to.
