Week 3 Q4

 

What we learn this week!

Spalding: Students reviewed all the phonograms learned in kindergarten in preparation for the cumulative test oral and written by the end of April. Also, for fourth quarter, students will have a Spelling cumulative test with all the spelling words learned in kindergarten. Please continue practicing at home, phonograms, and spelling words. Students used their pink notebook to write their new spelling words/sight words (let, big, bag, beg).

Reading reminders:

• Your child should read to an adult as daily homework.
• Practice sight words as daily homework. Assessments on Wednesdays.
• Minimal goal by the end of fourth quarter, master 100 sight words, but the sky is the limit! Students will grow confidence for first grade when they master the sight words.

Literature: Our poem this week is “It’s raining, it’s pouring”. Starting this week, students started reading the grade level literature books. This week we read “Little Bear”. We answered the reading comprehension packet for the reading, practice how to retell, and punctuation.

Math: This week students practiced how to take a group apart to show subtraction. Students are subtracting numbers within 5 or within 10. All week we used our resources to subtract like, number line, counters, linking cubes, ten frames, count backwards, and fingers.

Science: After an amazing unit of the rainforest, students studied the Savana habitat this week. We researched and discussed interesting facts about this habitat. Later in the week, we studied the lion and the elephant.

History/Geography: This week, our study on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln was deeper. Students learned about their lives and some facts about this two presidents. Ask your child about them!
