In Math, we’ll be describing containers as full, half full, or empty. We’ll also practice covering designs in more than one way and using objects to represent numbers.
In Reading, we’ll start a new story, My Lucky Day. When a delicious-looking piglet knocks on Mr. Fox's door "accidentally," the fox can hardly believe his good luck. It's not every day that dinner just shows up on your doorstep! It must be his lucky day! Or is it? Before Mr. Fox can say grace, the piglet has manipulated him into giving him a fabulously tasty meal, a bath, a massage, and . . . freedom. We will be discussing surprises. Students will learn about cause and effect. Please be sure to review your Family Times when it comes home next week.
Our themes next week will be Dental Health and Dr. Seuss. We will also be having closing ceremonies for our “Kindergarten Olympics” on Monday, February 24th.
February is Dental Health Month! Please complete the toothbrush chart that was sent home and return it at the end of the month. Students who return the chart will get a special treat!
Scholastic book orders are due Monday, February 24th.
On Friday, February 28th, NSE will celebrate “Read Across America.” We will have students from Bloomsburg University visit our classroom to teach a lesson using the Dr. Seuss book, “In a People House.” In the afternoon Mrs. Kraft, a retired North Schuylkill Elementary teacher, will visit our classroom for another special Dr. Seuss lesson based on the book, “Put Me in The Zoo.” We will be doing lots of Dr. Seuss activities all week and we’ll be having lots of surprise guest readers!
Please return the Graduation questionnaires that were sent home this week as soon as possible, if you haven’t done so already.
