Week 7 Q4

 

What we learn this week!

Spalding: This week we finish the 55 phonograms cumulative test. Students will start their Spelling cumulative test with all the spelling words learned in kindergarten. Spelling words will include the markings. Students used their pink notebook to write their new spelling words/sight words (ice, play, see, sea).

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:  For literature this week we read “Mouse Tales” book. Students are enjoying reading chapter books as a whole group and reading to themselves. All week we worked with a reading comprehension packet to discuss each chapter.

Math: With a new math unit, students are counting numbers to 40, in order, and from any number to 40. We reviewed tens and ones, and fact families.

Science: Insects! What an exciting unit! On Monday, students identified insects from not an insect. Tuesday, we learned the parts of a ladybug and its life cycle. Students created a craft for the ladybug and the dragonfly, and they identified the six legs and three body parts.

History/Geography: This week, we studied the biography of Davy Crockett. We learned some interesting facts about him, and why he was important. Davy Crockett is remembered today for his bravery as a soldier and a frontiersman.
