Academics
In Reading, we’ll continue with Unit 2, Look at Us! Our next story will be a nonfiction selection, A Bed For The Winter. This book shares the harrowing story of a little dormouse and his frantic search for a safe place to hibernate. In Phonics, we will focus on the letter Ii in the initial and medial position of words. Our literary skill for the week will be sequence.
In Math, we’ll continue with Topic 2: Comparing and Ordering 0-5. Students will learn how to compare and order numbers 0-5. Please continue to practice writing numbers 0-5 at home.
Field Trip
The Kindergarten Field trip to see the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble present Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and then some) will be on Friday, December 1st. Students are asked to wear a polo and dress code approved bottoms or better! This means that students may wear Christmas dresses, suits, etc (even if they aren’t dress code appropriate.) Please remember that we are going to the theatre and we will be representing North Schuylkill. Students should not wear gym clothes on the field trip.
Weather/ Coats
The weather is quickly changing and the days are getting colder! Please make sure that your child is coming to school dressed for the weather. Please reinforce at home that it is no longer warm outside and that coats are a must! I’ve had several students insisting that they don’t need to wear coats this week! As the weather gets even colder, feel free to send in a spare hat and gloves for your child to leave in their locker in case they forget theirs at home. Also, don’t forget that students may not wear shorts to school.
Feed a Friend
The NS Student Council is sponsoring the Feed-A-Friend campaign in our school district. The campaign will continue until Wednesday, November 16th. We are collecting both non-perishable food and monetary donations to help less fortunate people in Schuylkill County enjoy a holiday dinner. Student Council representatives will be taking our donations to the Salvation Army in Pottsville on Thursday. I’m asking that every student in our class bring in 1 item to donate. My goal is to teach students about giving and helping others. Thank you SO much to all of the parents who already sent in donations with their children!
