Next
week in Phonics we will be learning the two sounds of digraph oo as in the words hook and tooth. Please review digraphs ck, sh,
and voiced and unvoiced th. We will not have Show and Tell.

In
Math we will be learning how to use indirect comparisons to compare the heights
or lengths of objects. We will share a
whole by dividing into 2 equal parts. We
will use objects to represent numbers and use numbers to represent groups of
objects.
v
We
are approaching the end of the year testing for kindergarten. Each child will be tested by the Reading
teachers. Children will need to write a
dictated sentence, recognize, write, and give the sound of every letter of the
alphabet, be fluent in phonemic segmentation, be able to provide a word that
begins with every letter of the alphabet, and be able to use a word in a
sentence. Please try at home to work on
some of the areas to be tested to ensure that your child is fully prepared.

Field
trip permission slips will be sent home shortly in your child’s folder. Please
complete, sign, and return the permission slip form as soon as possible. Kindergarten will be traveling to The
Ringling Brothers Circus on May 23rd in Hershey.**Just a reminder: Students will need to wear the North Schuylkill T-shirt that was provided by
the PTO on the field trip—so be sure you have it ready.

Reading we will read the story Building
Beavers.

Please be sure to return
the dvd order form with payment if you wish to purchase a dvd.

I sent home coins to
practice with your child with half of our class. Please return these so the rest of the class
can practice next week!

We will have a PTO
sponsored in-school program on Thursday.
It is called Brainshow mania and is always a big hit with the children!
