Kindergarten Newsletter for the
week of January 8th – 12th
·
The
second marking period will be ending on January 18th and we will be testing for
report cards. Students will be asked to
write correctly their first and last names, numbers 0-10, and capital and
lowercase letters learned (a, b, f, g, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, and
t). They will need to identify capital
and lowercase letters and sounds, numbers 0-10, count orally to 100, basic
shapes, and rhyming words. Students will
be asked to blend 2, 3, and 4 letter words and read some already learned high-
frequency sight words. Please take some
time to review these skills with your child.
Report cards will be sent home
shortly after the end of the marking period
·
There
will be a monthly PTO Meeting on Tuesday-January 8th. Parents are invited and
encouraged to attend! Students will
receive their blue North Schuylkill Elementary T-shirts as a gift from the PTO! Some classes have already received theirs,
but they ran out of some of the smaller sizes and had to place another
order. Students are welcome to wear
their shirts for Spirit Days or gym days, however we are asking that parents
keep in mind the T-shirts will be
needed for class field trips. Please
keep them on hand for such events! (Keep in mind that if your child’s shirt is
lost or damaged, parents will be responsible for purchasing a new one.)

In
phonics next week we will learn the letter Uu as in umbrella and unicorn. Please see the attached state project for “U”
for United States. There will be no “U”
show and tell.

In
math we will be comparing sets of objects, comparing numbers through 6,
weighing objects and ordering objects by weight, adding sets and using numbers
to describe how many objects are in a set.

In reading this week we
will be continuing with our book Seeds.

We
will be taking the dibels test either on Tuesday or Wednesday. I will only let you know if the results were
not as good as they should be for this time of the year. We should know the results in a few weeks.

book orders home next week!
