Week of May 9

Mrs. Borden & Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter

We are so proud of our class because of how well they did on our DIBELS testing. Everyone showed progress. Their hard work is paying off. Give yourselves a cheer!
Our end of the year Kindergarten testing will take place this coming Monday and Tuesday. Students will need to write as many words as they can think of from memory in 10 minutes, copy a sentence that is dictated to them and name words that begin with each letter of the alphabet (long and short vowels).
See your child’s folder for fieldtrip information. Please send back as soon as possible.
Next week in Phonics we will work with combination ar like in star, or like in horse, er, like in butter and learn the VCCV rule. This will help us find vowel patterns and divide words by syllable.
In Math we will share a whole by separating it into equal parts, identify halves and fourths and create pictographs to compare temperatures during different seasons.
Our new Reading stories are Old McDonald had a Workshop and Building Beavers. We will discuss character and main idea.
Upcoming Dates:
On Thursday, May 12 we will be participating in the Teens Against Tobacco Kick Butts Event. T.A.T. students from the high school will come to assist us activities.
Our Kindergarten Graduation will be at 6:30 on Monday, May 23rd in the High School Auditorium. Details will be sent home at a later date.
Our fieldtrip will be held on Thursday, May 26th. We will be attending the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus in Hershey at the Giant Center.
Monday is Day 4. We have Gym and Book Exchange on Tuesday. Don’t forget your sneakers and library books.

Happy Mother’s Day!
