Next week in reading we will continue the unit, “Animals Live Here.” We are going to be reading the story Animal Babies in Grasslands and will talk about grassland animals. We will focus on the consonant “Pp” and also discuss the main idea of the story. There will also be 2 new sight words next week (my, like.) Please send in your child’s sight word flash cards so we can add the new words. If their flash cards are not in their folder we will put the new cards in a sleeve of their folder.

The North Schuylkill Jr. Sr. Student Council is sponsoring the Feed A Friend project to help less fortunate families in Schuylkill County have an enjoyable Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. In an effort to help those that are in need, I’m asking that each student bring in one non perishable item to donate to the Feed A Friend project. We will deliver our class’ collection to the drop off bin in the main lobby on Tuesday, November 16th. Thank for your help!


On Thursday, we had our monthly Guidance Lesson. This month we welcomed Mrs. Clarissa Geary into our classroom to talk about Personal Body Safety. Please be sure to ask your child what they learned from Mrs. Geary.
