Week of April 9-13, 2018

We really enjoyed our Dr. Seuss activity with students from Bloomsburg University!

Reading:  “The Little Engine That Could” is our story for the week.  This classic fantasy is used to teach about the work done by trains. Students will identify the plot in stories to build their comprehension skills. We will revisit the concept of nouns and learn about writing formal letters. The amazing words this week are: engine, passenger, mountain, tracks, roundhouse, and valley. The sight words featured include: what, said, and was.

Phonics:  We will continue working on Uu with the initial and medial /u/ sound, as in umbrella and tub. Vv will also be introduced this week.

Math:  Topic 9 (Composing and Decomposing Numbers to 10) will continue this week. We are practicing different ways to arrange groups when making the numbers 4-10. Please practice the plus and minus sign with your child. Also practice writing number sentences for addition and subtraction.

Reminders:

~North Schuylkill is hosting a Community Movie Night on Friday, April 13^th @ 7:00 PM in the High School Auditorium.

 ~The PTO Basket Raffle is this weekend (Saturday, 4/14 and Sunday, 4/15). Our “Cold Drinks” basket looks like a wonderful prize. Thank you for the generous donations! Remember to visit the Raffle to try your luck. . (The kindergarten class with the most tickets in their basket will earn an ice cream party.)

~ Continue to practice ALL sight words EVERY night. I am very happy with the progress I am seeing in our reading skills!

~ Please continue to practice writing words and sentences. Repetition leads to success!
