We Made It to "Z!"

Speech & Language:  This week we will have a pragmatic lesson.  The definition of pragmatic speech is:
"Pragmatics refers to the social language skills we use in our daily interactions with others. They include what we say, how we say it, our body language and whether it is appropriate to the given situation. Pragmatic skills are vital for communicating our personal thoughts, ideas and feelings."  There will be no snack this week.

Sharing:  The Winnie-the-Poohs will share this week.

We will continue working in our Handwriting Without Tears and Kickstart Kindergarten books working on "perfect printing"and number formation.  We will work in our April Math Journals, and continue using Zearn and Starfall on the computer.

This week we will meet Mr. Z and his zipping zippers.  The children have been anticipating getting to the letter Z for a long time and are so excited to have completed the entire alphabet.  We will be looking back over their Letter People Binders, which we started way back in August!  I am sure you will enjoy looking through them and noting their progress at Open House in May.

We will be learning and reviewing Mother Goose Rhymes, which focus on the ending sounds in words and are so important for the development of sight words and reading skills.  It is so exciting to see the progress the children are making reading sight words and sounding out words.
