Week of April 30th-May 4th

This week in Reading we will begin the story Building with Dad. The question we will focus on is: What are different ways of building? This story is an informational fiction and we will be focusing on the text based comprehension skill of compare and contrast. Our phonics skill is /a/ spelled Aa and /i/ spelled Ii. Our high frequency words are: here, with, do, what, little.

This week in Math we will begin Topic 11, Decomposing Numbers 11 to 19. We will learn to create number sets to 19 and learn parts of numbers 11-19. Please continue practicing counting to 100 by ones, fives, and tens as well as writing numbers 0 to 20.

Our class took some of the end of the year Kindergarten testing which was administered by the Title 1 teachers last week. I have not yet received the results on the ten-minute writing test but as I was walking around during the test I noticed a huge improvement. Thank you for working with your child! J This Thursday, students will take the Math DIBELS test. They will be asked to identify as many numbers, out of order, as possible, tell the quantity that is bigger when looking at both sides of a domino, and tell the number that would come next when looking at a flash card.

Our daily special schedule for the week is: Monday, Day 8-Gym; Tuesday, Day 9-Music; Wednesday, Day 10-Computer; Thursday, Day 1-Art; and Friday, Day 2-Guidance.

Some dates to look ahead: 5/3-Math DIBELS test, 5/16-Reading DIBELS test, 5/22-Kindergarten Graduation, 5/28- off for Memorial Day.

If you ever need to contact me, please call the school at 570-874-3661 ext. 3243 or email at scapone@northschuylkill.net.
