Kindergarten
News for the week of March 4th
– 8th
Next week we will
be working on the letter Xx as in the end of fox and beginning of x-ray. Students will go on a treasure hunt
throughout the building to find the “X” that marks the spot of their hidden
treasure! This treasure hunt will be
next week due to kindergarten registration. We don’t want the parents and new k students
to see the current children flying through the halls on their hunt! How exciting!!! There will be NO Show and Tell.
I hope you enjoyed the newspaper activities this week! Please send in my ad for a small treat! A separate note was sent home about
this. My ad can be found in the
classified section of the Pottsville Republican and Evening Herald
In reading this
week we will read the story Mayday!
Mayday!. This is an
informational text. We will discuss
cause and effect. Continue to read the
little books I send home for fluency practice.
Next week we will have our kindergarten registration at NSE. Please call the school office for an
appointment if your child will be five by September 1st and you wish
to enroll them in kindergarten.
In kidwriting the
children are beginning to attempt to write 2 or more sentences on their own
each day! This is scary for some
children but some took right off with it!
In math we will
work with tangram pieces, identify small and large shapes, begin to measure
length, graph a picture on a pictograph and explore slides, flips and turns
with shapes.
***Please remember
that gym is always on DAY 3---wear sneakers!
Monday will be day
5 on our rotation schedule.
***Library day is
always on day 2! Please help your child locate his/her book so
they can get a new book each week!
I have mixed feelings about
telling you that I will not be in school next Thursday and Friday. I am lucky enough to be able to go to the PA
Kindergarten Teachers Conference in Harrisburg.
Three teachers will be going from our kindergarten. It is fabulous and we always come home with
new and exciting ideas. Please reassure
your child that if my ad is in the newspaper one of these two days, they will
get their treat when I return! I will
have everything laid out for the 2 days and the children will be in the very
capable hands of Mrs. McCormick
