kindergarten news for the week of March 31st - April 4th


Kindergarten News for the week of March 31st- April 4th  

·        Next week we will be learning the letter Qq as in quilt.  The girls will finally get to be Queens for a Day on Friday, April 4th!  The girls may want to dress up for this occasion!  We may have a small queen parade to do the queen wave!  We will learn more about combination “qu” too.  The boys and girls will even be invited to participate in a special wedding ceremony for Q and U!  This celebration will be next Friday ---April 11th . 

·        In Math, we will be learning how to decompose numbers 11-19.  That means different combinations of numbers to add up to a given number.

·        The physical exams for kindergarteners who need them will be on April 1oth. 

·        Our graduation pictures will be held on Thursday- April 3rdth.  We ask that the children have a white collared shirt if possible under their gowns because that is all that will show.  The girls should not wear anything in their hair because they will wear caps and the cap will not fit properly over ponytails etc!  All children will have their picture taken for the composite picture even if you are not purchasing a package! 

 

·        We will read the story Abuela next week.  This story has a lot of Spanish words in it!  Abuela is the Spanish word for grandmother. 

·        We will work on word list 20 and report cards will come home on Friday! 

·        We started the PSSA testing in our school today.  We were asked by Mr. Jones to switch our special and lunch times next week to accommodate other grades’ schedules for testing.  This will mean we have our special class in the morning and our snack and recess in the afternoon.   I’m looking forward to recess duty on Monday if it hits 60!
