Kindergarten News
For
Reading we will continue with Unit 6:
Building Our Homes. The next
story will be titled, “Old MacDonald had
a Woodshop”. We will be talking
about what tools you need to build things.
We will review the short vowel sounds and review “characters”. Watch for your Family Times news! Continue
to practice sight words!!!
For Math, we will begin Unit 9, Base Ten and Mixed Review. Students
will explore, count, write, and compare numbers to 20 in different ways. They will compose and decompose numbers to 20
as so many tens and ones and recognize and compare sets of numbers using tens
and ones. Take some time and review the daily work mats.
Please review, sign and return Unit 8
assessment when it is sent home in RETURN.
NSE will be having
a Scholastic Book Fair from Mon, May 13-Friday, May 17. Students will be able to shop at school

sentences, write as many words as they can correctly in 10 minutes, and
identify each letter of the alphabet (upper and lower case), give the sounds
for each letter including both short and long vowel sounds, and tell a word
that begins with each sound. Please try to have your child at school on
time as testing will begin after announcements.

at 1:00 pm in the NS High School Auditorium. A
blue sign out/information sheet was sent home on Thursday, 5/2. Due to limited seating, each Kindergarten

**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 on Friday, May 24th. **If
tickets are misplaced, we will not be able to replace them. **Blue SIGN-OUT
