Happy Friday!
I hope everyone has had a great week! We have had many fun and exciting events lately concluding with an AMAZING Veteran's Day program today at Bookman Road! Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to put together a wonderful breakfast and program for our Veterans and their families. We are so thankful to all of our Veterans and their family members who sacrifice so much for our freedom!!
We have started a new unit of study which is families. Below, I have posted a letter from our WOW curriculum talking about some things you might want to do at home with your children. During this unit, we will focus on the letters Tt, Ii, Nn, and Cc in addition to reviewing our letters that we have learned in our last unit (Aa, Mm, Ss, and Pp). Each day during our alphabet time, we review our letters and the sounds that the letters make. Together, we may do group writing, practicing skywriting our letters, rolling letters out of dough, building letters out of wood pieces, and practice writing letters on paper. Along with name writing practice at home, also practice writing these letters with your child while reinforcing the name and sound that the letter makes. Next week we begin a new math module as well. I have also included the math family newsletter below.
Please check the dates below for our next two field trips. Our trip in December will have limited seating, so unfortunately we will only be able to have a few parents/grandparents attend. I will send a sign up for those slots once I verify the number of seats that are available. Also, we are not sending home a snack calendar at this time. We had an abundance of snacks sent in over the past couple of months. We are going to use up some of these extras before requesting more. Thanks so much for your willingness to provide snacks for our class!
Below are some very cute pictures of our students from the last couple of weeks. Don't forget to check them out!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Dear Family Member:
Ideas for Busy Families
In the Kitchen
In this unit, your child is learning about the importance of day and night.
- Engage your child in a discussion about day and night. This will help your child better understand these science concepts.
- Discuss how day and night are alike and different. To illustrate this concept, talk about things in the kitchen that are alike and different. For example, compare an apple and an orange.
At Bath and Bed Time
In this unit, your child is learning all about home and the things in it.
- Walk through your home with your child. Invite him or her to describe items, such as plants, windows, and closets. Having this discussion will help your child to develop his or her vocabulary.
- Then invite your child to explore his or her bedroom or sleeping area. Ask: What is this part of your home like?
Focus Letters Tt, Ii, Nn, Cc
