Kindergarten News for the week of March 3rd- 7th


Kindergarten Newsletter for March 3rd- 7th   

This week in school we will be learning the letter Vv.  This is easy for the children!  They seem to understand it after Valentine’s Day!  Plus we have Vivian and Vinny!  The formation is simple too!  We will count the number of syllables in words.  We will practice the words on word list 16 each day. We will have homework again next week and we will have no show and tell on Thursday due to the dinosaur projects!  When I send oral reading stories home in the folder, you only have to read the most recent one---not all of them! 

In math we will be discovering many number combinations for the numbers 8, 9 and 10.  You will also see the sum in different ways. (8=4+4 or 4+4=8)   Please review skills as they come home each day.

Monday will be day number 1.  (Tuesday if we have a snow day!)  Remember, we have gym every time it is day 3.  Your child needs sneakers to be able to take gym.  We exchange library books on a day 2.

In reading we will read the story My Lucky Day.  This is an animal fantasy story.  The animals act like people!  We will focus on the comprehension skill of cause and effect! 

We celebrated Read Across America day today.  We had guest students from Bloomsburg University come to teach a lesson using a Dr. Seuss book!  I would like to invite any parent to come in to visit and read at the end of any day except a Wednesday.  (We have reading buddies on a Wednesday at the end of the day!)  This could happen any day after 2:45.  Please let me know if you are interested!  It does not have to be a Dr. Seuss book, but I do have a large collection of them if you would like to choose one!    

Have a wonderful weekend!  As always, you can call us at school (570-874-3661 ext. 3241), set up a conference or email (atarantelli@northschuylkill.net) me about your child’s progress!

Kindergarten registration begins on Monday!
