April 6-10, 2015

We are continuing to move right through the alphabet! Next week we are going to finish learning Z and C then move on to Ee and Yy! There will be no Show and Tell next week! Students should try to find a piece of environmental print for the letter E and Y, but please don’t stress if you can’t find anything as these letters can be tricky!! Please continue to practice all of the letters that we’ve learned (L, O, G, H, T, P, A, N, M, I, S, F, R, K, B, U. Z C)

In Math, we will continue to work on our next topic. We’ll discuss position and location of shapes. Our big question is, what words can be used to describe the position and location of an object?

Next week in Reading we’ll continue with Unit 2, Look at Us! We will finish reading Nature Spy. We will discuss what we can learn about nature when we look closely.

Due to PSSA testing the following dates will be non-rotation days. This means that there will be no specials on these days: April 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28 and 29.

In April, the positive behavior plan allows students to get TWO yellow and/or red lights. Please continue to remind your child of this at home and encourage good behavior.

On Tuesday, April 7th, we will have a very special guest reader! Leanne Long, a player on the Lady Spartan Basketball Team will be reading to our class. If we’re very lucky, she might even bring her Schuylkill League Gold Medal to show us! In an effort to show Leanne that we are Spartan Proud, I am asking that every student wear a Spartan T-Shirt or red and blue! Even though we don’t have gym on Tuesday, students may still wear a Spartan T-Shirt. Please note, this is something our class is doing. It is not school wide.

Kindergarten Graduation pictures will be taken on April 8th. Every student needs to wear a white collared shirt for pictures! Every child will be getting their picture taken as part of a class photo. For anyone who is buying pictures, when picking out a background, please note that, boys will wear a blue gown with a red cap, and girls wear a red gown with a blue hat. Please return graduation picture envelopes on Monday if you haven’t done so already.

Thank you to all of the parents who donated to our Sundae Basket!! It looks really YUMMY! I will post a picture of the basket on my blog for anyone who would like to see it. The auction will be held April 11th 10am-5pm & 12th 12-3pm 2015th at North Schuylkill Elementary. Please attend and support our PTO!
