Hello KC Families ,
It was a big weekend at the Howard home, Harper turn the big THREE! We had so much fun celebrating her and really just wish time would slow down, am I right?!
Don't forget Field Day is THIS FRIDAY! Students must wear athletic shoes (they don't need to be all black) should wear athletic clothing, and are encouraged to wear our team color, blue. See previous blog post for more details.
Here's what's going on this week in our classroom.
Spalding: Our two new phonograms this week have the same sound so we will learn two new cues to help us remember, they are, kn (cue: two letter, beginning) and gn (cue: two letter)

The 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. As Spalding increases in difficult it is imperative that your child is doing homework every night, we appreciate your continued support! Note, your child’s Spalding test will be on Thursday to accommodate for field day.
Sight Words: We will continue to review this week, focusing on list 5.
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!
Thank you all who donated for our 100th day of school. All the kids shirts looked so great and they had a great time!
