Speech & Language:  This week we will have a Pragmatic Speech lesson.  This means we will practice effective ways to communicate with others, such as asking to join in to play, reading the emotions of others and responding appropriately.  We will act out situations and all children will have the opportunity to participate.  There will be no snack this week and no homework, but be sure to ask your child what they learned in class and practice acting out different emotions (happy, angry, sad, excited, disappointed, afraid) to see if your child can detect your feelings.

Sharing:  There will be no sharing this week however if your child did not bring a share in November, he/she may bring it on Friday.
