Week of March 4th


Mrs. Borden & Mrs. Jones’ Nifty Newsletter

(Week of March 4-8)

We enjoyed celebrating Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and Read Across America this week with many fun books, activities, and guest readers. We wrapped up the week with Gerald McBoing Boing read by a student from Bloomsburg University.   

In Phonics we will work with the letter x like in the end of fox. We will identify the initial, medial and final sounds in words, review vowels, and separate words into compound words. We will also have a treasure hunt where “X” will mark the spot!!!

In Math we will make ABBC patterns using pattern blocks, compare numbers to 10 and identify right and left.

Our new Reading story is called Max Takes the Train. We will talk about many forms of transportation. We will discuss realism (nonfiction) and fantasy (fiction).

Kindergarten registration for the 2013-2014 school year will be held during the week of March 4-8.  Registration is open to all residents of the NS School District.  Please pass along this information to anyone with children ready to begin Kindergarten in the fall.  Appointments should be scheduled with the office.

Newspaper in Education Week is a program sponsored by the Pottsville Republican & Herald to promote interest in the newspaper in our schools.  It will be starting on Monday, March 4th and continue through Friday, March 8th.  Information is in your child’s folder.

We are trying to get students outside for recess as much as possible! Please be sure that your child has warm jacket, gloves, and hat!
