Kindergarten News
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 moving on with Chapter 12: Subtraction. We will learn to subtract objects from a larger group of objects. We will also learn to read and complete subtraction sentences. Students will “take away” to find out “how many are left?”
v 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.
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.
v Field trip permission slips are being sent home in your child’s folder. Please complete, sign, and return the permission slip form as soon as possible. Kindergarten will be traveling to Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Halifax on either Wednesday, May 13th (rain date Thursday, May 14th) or Wednesday, May 20th (rain date Thursday, May 21st) depending on your child’s homeroom. **Just a reminder: Students will need to wear their red North Schuylkill T-shirts on the field trip—so be sure you have it ready.
