Instead of focusing on just one letter each week, we will have a review of the entire alphabet. We will concentrate on not only letter recognition but also beginning sounds. We'll also introduce writing the lowercase forms of letters. Our "Show and Tell" will change as well. Each week we will send a lunch sized bag home with four children. The bags will have a letter on them. Please help your child find something that begins with the letter on the bag to bring in on Friday. We'll try to guess what's in the bag! This week the "Show and Tell" bags will be going home with Mason, Trent, Melissa, and Matthew.
We're also adding a "Morning Letter" to our circle time. This is a letter written on chart paper that allows children to learn more about print. We'll do things like count words, find and circle special letters or words, find periods and question marks, and recognize how print moves from left to right.
In math, we will review shapes (including several 3D shapes) and numbers 1-20. Using manipulatives, we'll continue to work on simple addition and subtraction. Patterning and the calendar will also remain part of our circle time.
We're looking forward to all of the fun that is to come in the following weeks. As always,
thank you for your support.
