Kindergarten Newsletter: November 8th-12th

Next week in reading we will continue our new unit, “Animals Live Here” with the story “Armadillo’s Orange.” We will focus on the consonant “Ss” and also discuss the setting of the story.

In Phonics will we will be studying the consonant “Mm” as in monkey, money, and music. Students did a GREAT job on the first word list! I can tell that they are practicing at home! Please practice Phonics Word List 2 this week and it will be tested next Friday, November 12th.
Students will be introduced to the penny in Math next week. We will also continue to work with shapes and numbers 0-10.

Report Cards are in your child’s folder today. Please sign and return them to school as soon as possible.

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, November 11th we will be having our Guidance Lesson on Personal Body Safety. Please complete the permission form and return it school as school as possible.
Please remember that we have Library on Wednesdays. Students need to bring back their Library book every Wednesday if they want to exchange it for a new one.

A BIG thank you to all of the parents that attended parent teacher conferences!

Book orders are due Friday, November 12th!

Since the weather is getting cooler, please have your child practice putting their coats on themselves and zipping/ buttoning them. Also, please remember that we change the clocks this weekend so shorts may NOT be worn to school starting Monday. Thank you!
