Kindergarten News

Monday, March 21st, is Day 3 and our special is Music. PSSA tests will still be held in the morning for grades 3-6; we will follow the schedule we used last week. Plus we must remember to be especially quiet in the building.

This week we will be working on the consonant Ww and its sound as in wagon and watermelon. We will have show 'n tell on Friday so look for bags to come home in folders on Monday.

To go along with our letter Ww, we will have two special activities. Wednesday, March 23rd, will be Watery Wednesday! We will be talking about water and completing different experiments involving water throughout the day. It will be WONDERFUL! Friday, March 25th, will be Wacky Hair Day. Start thinking about a wacky hairstyle for the day. Remember-boys and girls with short hair can always wear wigs-they're wacky too!

In Reading we will read the old classic, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." We will review the letter Gg and discuss the concept of character. We will also continue to study the H/F number words-one, two, three, four, five.

In Math we will identify and work with nickels up to 50 cents. We will practice counting to 50 by 5's. We will put objects in order by height. We will identify a cylinder. We will continue to work with ABC patterns.

We are nearing the end of the third marking period. We will be testing the children again on many of the reading and math skills that have been introduced to see if they have mastered them.

Also-Graduation photos will be taken on the morning of Thursday, April 7th. Children will need to wear a white collared shirt that day. PSP will be taking the photos. More details will follow as the date gets closer.
