Kindergarten News
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.
FYI: Any boys and girls involved in tee-ball and are a part of a team are discouraged from wearing their team baseball caps to school. It has been said that players will not be allowed on the field without their team caps, and we do not want to have any hats lost or left at school on game days.
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 26th in Hershey.**Just a reminder: Students will need to wear the North Schuylkill T-shirts that was provided by the PTO on the field trip—so be sure you have it ready.
In Reading we will read the story The Little Engine that Could. We really enjoyed the dvd this week!
It is cold in our room since the air is on! Your child may want to bring a jacket or sweater!
