April 24-28
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 23^rd 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 27^th.  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.
