Happy Friday!
Can you believe there are just 3 schools days between us and Winter Break?! This year is flying! Next week is short and sweet. Monday is our only full day, Tuesday and Wednesday are both half-days. Don't forget to have your child bring their wrapped book for our class book exchange.
Spalding: This week we will review words and phonograms. There will be no test. Please continue to review phonogram cards each night.
We recently learned the "ers," in Spalding and they can be a little tricky. We use the sentence "her first nurse works early" to help students remember each "er". We use the words as cues so the students know which "er" we want them to write or say. When you are practicing at home you should be saying these cues as well.
er (as in her) ir (as in first)
ur (as in nurse) wor (as in works)
ear (as in early)
Sight Words: Review all lists.
Literature: This week we will explore the silly Story/Poem, “There was an Old Lady.” We will read different versions and compare/contrast them as well as sequence the events. We will still be reading with students this week so please be sure to send your child with their book bag. This will give students an opportunity to get a new book to read before break. Please be sure to keep reading while away from school.
Math:We will complete the first semester by reviewing some topics from the year. Students will work on both Monday and Tuesday to complete pages in their Math Book A. Once completed, students will be bringing their books home with them to keep.
History: We will learn all about the real life of Saint Nicholas. Students will learn that he gave to those in need out of love and kindness. Students will get to make a craft to give to someone they love.
We loved having our stuffed animals at school just like the boy from the Velveteen Rabbit.
