In Reading we will start a new story titled, This Is the Way We Go to School. It is a fiction story about children around the world. We will work with the letter sounds /y/ and /kw/ for the letters Yy and Qq. The comprehension skill we will focus on with this story is drawing conclusions.
In Math, we will continue with Topic 10 Composing Numbers 11-19. Practice making numbers 11-19 and continue to review addition and subtraction.
Students in Grades 3-6 will continue taking the PSSA tests during the week. Kindergarten’s schedule will be switched around T-Th, 4/25-4/27. Special classes will be 9:00-9:45, instead of 2:00-2:45. Please talk to your child about being quiet while in the hallways during testing days!!
Kindergarten Graduation will be held on Tuesday, May 23rd at 1:00 pm in the NS High School Auditorium. Specific details about parking, seating, etc. will be sent home closer to the date. Due to limited seating, each Kindergarten student will be limited to 5 tickets. If a small child (non-school age) is going to sit on an adult’s lap, they will not need a ticket. Your Kindergarten child is not part of the count. No one will be admitted to Graduation without a ticket. Graduation tickets will be sent home closer to Graduation. If tickets are misplaced, we will not be able to replace them.
FYI: Our class participated in the “A Child’s View” writing for the Republican Herald newspaper. The entries and a class photo are to be published in a supplement on Thursday, April 27th. Students answered the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up and why?” Be sure to check it out.
There will be a $1 Dress Down Day on Friday,April 28.
