Mrs. Borden and Mrs.
Jones’ Nifty Newsletter (week of September 5)
There will be no
school Monday, September 3. Have a great holiday weekend!
We had so much fun on our “Chester Chase” this week. We tried to find Chester the Raccoon
from “The Kissing Hand”. He lead us on a chase to find the important places in
our school building, but had to return to his book after leaving us a cookie
treat. We will continue to read theme books to welcome us to Kindergarten and
to school.
Academics next week include: Saxon Math, we will be working on numbers 1-5 and working with the manipulatives and materials that we will be using throughout the course of the year. Saxon Phonics, we will continue to work on the letter Ll and move on to letter Oo, so that we can write it, make its sound, identify it, and identify words that begin with the letter. Sight words that we will be working on include the and is. Please ask your child about these words and if they can find them at home or in the community.
We began Reading with the
story, The Little School Bus
this week. Watch for your Family Times newsletter to come home with
details about our upcoming story and skills we will be working on in Reading.
Please review the Amazing words, the ordinal numbers first, second, third, fourth,
fifth and sixth, letter recognition of letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, and Ee,
the story element “character”, and the high frequency words I and am.
Friday is Picture
Day. Please dress your child in dress code approved clothing and send
in your picture forms and money.
A Few Reminders
Your child needs a drink and a snack every day. There are several children that have had no snack or had a snack and no drink. Please bag their snack separately and label it “snack”. If your child’s snack requires a fork or spoon, please send it. We do not keep these in the room.
Please discuss with your child if they are buying a lunch and what they should choose. We’ve had a few children order lunch because it
sounded good, but they really had a packed lunch.
Please send a change of clothes to be kept in your
child’s cubby incase of accidents or messes.
Put your child’s
name on everything. Many students have the
same backpack, lunch bag, coat etc.
Every Friday of the
school year is Spirit Day! This is optional.
It is done to promote school spirit and enthusiasm for our sports
teams. The children are allowed to wear
any North Schuylkill t-shirt and uniform bottoms.
We thank you
for your continued involvement and participation in your child’s Kindergarten
year. Please write a note or send an email if you have any questions or need
any additional information. Thank you!
