Mrs. Woinarowicz's Kindergarten Class: Week 23- January 28-February 1

Where did the weekend go? Jay and I had a fun weekend filled with hiking and celebrating Mrs. Howard's daughter's 2nd birthday! We also tried our hand at some "Minute to Win It" games and found out those tasks are not as easy as they look! Ha!

We have a fun week coming up in kinder. Friday. February 1st is Athletic Field Day! We are still in need of a few volunteers and snacks. Click HERE to sign up. Please see my previous post with all the details for Field Day. Our color is yellow!

Happy 6th Birthday Talia!

Happy Half Birthday Gage!

Here is a look at the coming week:

Spalding: As Spalding increases in difficulty it is imperative that your child is doing homework every night with parental guidance, we appreciate your continued support! We will learn two new phonograms ph and ough (this is a fun one with 6 sounds!)

Spelling words will be: an, my r. 5 (the y may say i. ) 6. (English words don’t end in i so we use y) , up, last, not.

Sight Words: We will continue to review list 1-4 before we introduce list 5 next month.

Literature: We will continue our unit on Mr. Popper’s Penguins. We have enjoyed meeting the Popper’s and Captain Cook. The sweet giggles I hear as we are reading about the penguins and their crazy antics has been a highlight of my week. Our poem will be Go to Bed Tom and Are You Sleeping?

Math:

This week we will begin learning about number bonds. Number bonds are a visual way to explain the relationship between a number and the parts that combine to make it. For example, the number 7 can be broken down into parts made up of 6 and 1, 5 and 2, and 3 and 4. Throughout the week we will use number bond mats and manipulatives to tactilely explore number bonds for numbers up to 8. We will create life-size number bonds using hula hoops and students!

Science: This week we will be exploring all about insects! Students will learn the parts of an insect and what makes insects unique from other bugs. We will talk more in depth about bees and ants. Then, students will get to make their own insect using fun paper shapes and give it a name!
