This week we will be learning the letter Qq as in quilt. The
girls will finally get to be Queens for a Day on Wednesday,
April 2nd! We
will learn about combination “qu” too. The boys and girls will even be
invited to participate in a special wedding ceremony for Q and U sometime the
following week. (Details will follow sometime this week.) There will be NO show and tell for the
letter Qq. **Word List 19 will be tested on Friday, April 4th! Just a reminder: Only the odd numbered lists will be
sent home for practice!!

For Reading we will complete Unit 4 with a benchmark test and will not
begin Unit 5 until the following week.
No ½ sheet homework next week!
·
In Math, we will begin Topic 10: Composing Numbers 11-19. Review daily work mats and continue to
practice addition, subtraction, and different ways to make numbers from 6-10.

Report cards for the 3rd
marking period will be sent home on Friday, April 4th along with the scoring
rubrics. The rubrics have been
changed a bit since the 2nd marking period and you may see more
opportunity for your child to earn a 4, but remember 3s are the goal for the
end of Kindergarten!! Please sign
and return both the report cards and rubrics and return both to the teacher. Report cards will be given back to keep
after the teacher receives them.
If you have any questions and/or concerns, then please contact the
teacher at either apotts@northschuylkill.net or 570-874-3661, Ext 3245.

your child’s folder. (Cash or checks made payable to P.S.P) **All students will be photographed
for the class photo and will need a WHITE COLLARED shirt to wear under a
graduation gown. Girls should not
have ponytails high on their heads or wear big hair accessories since they will
be wearing a graduation cap!
**If you do NOT wish
to purchase pictures, please send a note stating that, so the teacher knows
your child just didn’t forget to bring the envelope/money. Thank you!!!
