Mrs. Borden and Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter (week of April 4)
Homework for the week:
Monday-Thursday: ½ sheet practice and new sight words (located in the clear portion of the folder; we have added words to the previous ones) Please don’t forget to read the reader each night and sign on the form.
*The word lists will no longer be sent home. We have been working on blending all year and we would like to see how the blending is done without seeing the words ahead of time. We will continue to send home the marked word lists for you to see the progress and if there is a retest needed, we will send home a note with the list. The retest will be given later in the week.*
This week in Phonics, we will be learning a new rule. It is the long vowel rule and we will be now working on reading words with long and short vowel sounds. The rule will be reviewed on each Phonics page that is sent home. We are now through the entire alphabet and will be focusing on digraphs, combinations, blends and phonics rules until the end of the year.
In Math, we will work on identifying and writing numbers to 30 and numbers on a number line. We will also be reviewing the penny, nickel, and dime and their values. We will also introduce the quarter and dollar along with their values.
Our new Reading story is “Mayday, Mayday”. This is an informational text and we will be discussing cause and effect and continue to work on setting, title, characters, and sequence of the story.
Please sign and return the report cards as soon as possible, thank you!
School store for Kindergarten is on Monday only.
For anyone that signed and returned the purple form from the nurse, their physicals will be on: April 14. This is the rescheduled date.
*An important note about Graduation Pictures on April 7: Please wear a white collared shirt for the picture. Also, girls should not wear anything in their hair. We will be wearing both caps and gowns for the photo. Thank you for your cooperation.
