Sharing: This week the Winnie the Poohs and Piglets will share. Note that we have a new sharing topic. It can be found on this site under the "more" tab. Please make sure you know when your child's share day is and help him/her prepare a proper share presentation. Children love to share and are very proud when they are prepared!
It is always so fun to see how much the children have grown and matured over the break. Now they will be much more able to grasp concepts such as beginning reading and writing. We will begin reading many, many folktales and fairy tales in preparation for an upcoming unit on fairy tales. We will eventually write and illustrate our own fairy tales!
This week we will meet Mr. N who has a noisy nose. The children will practice writing the letter /N/, learn the sound of the letter and discover words that begin with the letter. We will continue to work in our Letter People book, rhyming book, alphabet dictionary, journal and Handwriting Without Tears. We will continue with Lexia (big shout out to those who worked on Lexia during our 3 week break)Planet Bravo games and Starfall.
Snowflakes! We will begin a special seasonal unit on snowflakes which includes a lot of cutting practice, recognizing the initials of our name, matching upper and lower case letters and a special Big Buddy activity focusing on how we are all unique, just like snowflakes.
We will begin our January math journals, and use games and manipulatives to reinforce math concepts such as number bonds. You might remember these as "fact families." We are continuing to work on number recognition up to 30 and eventually to 100.
Our Schedule this Week:
Monday: Big Buddies
Tuesday: Planet Bravo
Wednesday: Let's Find Out! magazine, Yoga, Council, P.E.
Thursday: Second Step, library
Friday: Morning Assembly, Sharing, Art, Science, P.E., Homework Review
Best wishes,
Amy Weisberg
