Kindergarten News
*This week in Phonics we will be learning the consonant
letter Vv as in vest and
violin. There will not
be Show and Tell . **Word
List 15 will be tested on Thursday, February 6th or 7th. Practice daily! We are beginning something new
with our word lists. By this time in the kindergarten year, all the
children should be blending successfully with little or no assistance.
Some of the children are memorizing the words on the world lists and not
reading the words. In order to test this accurately we will only be
sending the odd numbered lists home with the children, and the even numbered
lists will be used for the report card grades. By doing this you can
still see the type of words that the children will be expected to read.
*For
Reading our next story will be “One Little Mouse!” by Dori Chaconas.
It will be a rhyming/concept story and we will review the comprehension
skill, sequence. We will introduce consonant blends
too. Look for the new Family Times newsletter in your child’s
folder.
*In
Math we will be finishing up Subtraction, Topic 8. Review vocabulary; take
away, minus sign, differences, and
subtract.
*Kindergarten registration for the 2014-2015
school year will be held next week.
Registration is open to all residents of the NS School District. Please pass along this info. to

the office.
*Toothbrush charts are due back by the
end of next week. Any student who
returns his/her chart will receive a “dental health” treat from Mrs.
Potts. (Remember to continue to
eat healthy foods, brush and floss your teeth, and visit a dentist at least
once a year to keep your smile looking great!)
*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 3rd and continue through

for Mrs. Potts’ ad in the classified section of the newspaper. Ads can be sent to school during the
week for treats. The “I’m a
Reader” forms, for those who participate, should be returned to the teacher the
following week, with a parent’s signature and initial for each day of the
week. (Additional notes were sent home in your child’s folder.)
*Boys
and girls enjoyed our celebration of Dr. Seuss this week. Students from Bloomsburg University,
Mrs. Selgrade’s 3rd grade class, Mr. Jones and Mrs. Ulceski, our
