Kindergarten News for the
week of April 28th – May 2nd
v 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.
v In Math we will be learning sorting by 1
and more than 1 attribute. We will then
move on to graphing.
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. Our dibels testing is scheduled for May 1st
and 2nd.
v
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 Pioneer
Coal Tunnel and Lokie ride in Ashland. **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.
v In Reading we will read the story The Little Engine That Could.
v Please
be sure to return the dvd order form with payment if you wish to purchase a
