Remember to bring your paper towel roll for Wednesday's Speech & Language project!

We are so excited to have finally reached the end of the alphabet after 26 weeks of learning letters and sounds! This is not the end, however, but the beginning of real reading, as we put the letters together to create words, and words together to create sentences. It is truly an exciting time.

Mr. X: Learning to Accept Differences

Speech & Language (On Tuesday afternoon this week) will be provided by Landon!
Sharing this week is the Tiggers!

Meet Mr. X, who is just a little different! He teaches us that even if we look different, or talk differently we can still be friends. This is a great opportunity to talk with our children about learning to get along with each other and accepting differences without judgment. It is a challenging lesson to learn, even for adults, but a good practice for us all. To practice /x/ it is easier to practice the sound at the end of the word, such as in the word "fox" or "box."

Wednesday Speech and Language Snack: /sw/ Sweet Potato Fries-Oliver M. (Samantha)
Friday Sharing: Eeyores! Please check the assignment on this site

This week we will meet Ms. W and her wonderful words. You may have notice your child sounding out words, "reading" and suddenly very interested in trying to figure out words by themselves. We have been learning sight words and focusing on letter sounds, rhyming words and other pre-reading skills that have helped the children build the confidence they need to take a chance figuring out the words around them. Every morning we start out with a question of the day. The children come in (often before school starts) and sound out the words in order to answer the question. They enjoy helping each other and some children just can't resist shouting out the question! Stimulating the desire to read via organic methods like a child's natural curiosity, reading stories and books aloud, listening to books with recorded accompaniment, and listening to stories on Starfall.com leads to a strong desire to read "by myself" for many children.
