For the week of March 3rd to March7th

                                           What’s happening in Kindergarten?

March3rd- March 7^th

Dinosaur projects:  In case we don’t have school on Monday due to bad weather, we will do Monday’s projects on Tuesday.  All the other projects will still be on the scheduled day.

Phonics:  We will be learning the letter Vv, like the beginning of vest and valentine.  We will separate words in syllables, identifying final sounds in words, and we will be working on wordlist # 12. Remember that I will not be sending this wordlist home to practice because we will be using it for a grade for blending and I need to be certain that the children are not just memorizing the words.

Math:  We will be still be learning about subtraction by acting out story problems. Keep practicing number writing at home, especially if you see a lot of reversals.

Reading:  We will still be working on the book “Bunny Day”. We did not get as much accomplished as I wanted to on this story because of  learning about Dinosaurs,  dental health month, and Dr. Seuss  day, etc… ……….. So much to do and learn!

Science:  We will be working the unit “Wood and Paper” and the children will discover that they can change the form of wood by sanding it, also by sharpening their pencils. ” The children will be working on their own “wood and paper science journals.

We are planning our field trip for Wednesday, May 28 and we will be going to the Pioneer Tunnel in Ashland.  If you are a homeroom parent that has been active all year with the parties, and in good standing with the PTO, you are invited to attend the fieldtrip.  I had the incorrect date for the carnival, it is scheduled for May 23^rd. Sorry!

*We are beginning to read a chapter book series called “The Magic Tree House” by Mary Pope Osborne.    The children really like these books.  You can usually buy them from the Scholastic book order.

Monday March 3^rd will be day #1B and we will have Art class.  !

On Thursday we were delighted to have our assistant principal Mrs. Ulseskie and Mrs. Brown the Reading specialist, read a Dr. Seuss book to our class.

On Friday we had a wonderful day celebrating  Dr. Seuss Day by having some graduate students from Bloomsburg College come to do a lesson with our children(March 2^nd).  They did a spectacular job and the children really enjoyed it.  We were also very fortunate to have Mrs. Groody assistant principal at the high school, and Mr. Dave Brown, former NSE teacher.
