Week 30: 03/30-04/03

Happy Saturday KC! 
I talked to most of you this week and it sounds like remote learning is going well minus a couple kinks. My hope is as we work through another week your family can find a routine that works well for you and your child. I know it's not easy but y'all are doing a great job carrying the classroom into your homes. 

This week is will have another packet to complete as we work hard to get our Google classroom set up starting the week of April 6th. Thank you for being flexible and patient as we find the best way to serve your kiddos! 

Our Monday meet-up is back! This week we will have a meet up on Monday at 9:30 and again on Thursday at 9:30. Our meeting Monday will be less formal, a story time and show and share (if time allows), Thursday will be a tutoring session. I plan to take any questions y'all might have and run through a couple Spalding, Math and phonemic awareness lessons if time permits. Look for the meeting invites being sent out later. 

And last but not least here's a look at what we will be learning:

Spalding: We will continue to review all phonograms while adding the remainder of our learned phonograms to homework. 

Sight Words: This week we will review list 7.


Literature: This week we will explore A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh. We will learn about A.A. Milne’s as an author and his inspiration for the Winnie-the-Pooh. We will explore three different stories ,"We Are Introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh, and Some Bees, and the Stories Begin, and "In Which Pooh Goes Visiting and Gets into a Tight Place,” and "In Which a House is Built in Pooh Corner for Eeyore."  We will speak to the virtues represented, explore Pooh’s character traits, and find examples of friendship in the story. Our poem is Peter Piper.


Math: This week students will be reviewing both addition and subtraction together.  We will explore fact families which include addition and subtraction equations.  Students will also be introduced to simple story problems.

History/Geography: This week we will be exploring the continent of Africa. Students will learn that the African Savanna is a unique habitat and that many animals live there. They will learn that Nigeria is a country in Africa that has a fun tradition.

Coach Warren sent me some fun pictures of PE before Spring Break. You'll have to ask your kiddos what was going on, whatever it is looks like fun to me :)
