Riddle of the week
I'm a pet that has four legs
And a tail at the end
You might hear me barking
And I'm known as man's best friend
Who am I?
Last week's answer:
Elephant
Spalding:
Last week we were introduced to three new phonograms-oe, kn and gn. We practiced writing various words with their jobs, rules and markings.
Next week, we will continue learning new words along with their jobs, rules and markings. In addition, we be learning the following phonograms: wr and dge.

We have wrapped up our unit on number bonds. Kindergarten mathematicians will now delve into addition! You can help your child at home by making up simple addition stories and then encouraging them to make up a story of their own. For example: I was at the playground. Three of my friends were there too. How many people are at the playground?
History:
This past week in History we were introduced to presidents and learned about our 1st president George Washington! Next week we will continue learning about presidents. We will be focusing on Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.
Science:
We are introducing animal classification. We will be able to discover and learn about characteristics of birds and insects. All birds have wings but do all of them use wings to fly? Why do insects have hard bodies?
Literature:
What an exciting time
learning about soups and stew and sharing. Now it’s time to learn about
“The Story of Ping”. We will follow this little duck as he travels to
find his family, and learn about the virtue of bravery.
Our read out loud right now is Stuart Little.
