DON’T FORGET!  NO  SCHOOL TOMORROW!

 Reading:  This week we read, Here Are My Hands, and How Do You Feel?  We discussed the five senses and the parts of the body that help us with each sense.  We also sang the song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.  We’ve also been working on our rhyming skills, and recognizing the beginning sounds of words.  These are good skills to practice and you can work on them anywhere.

 Math:  We continue to practice writing the numbers 0 – 10.  We also met the Blue color monster, and Ricky Rectangle.

 Literacy Activities:  We matched capital and lower case letters on our Apple Tree, made a project for Old Mother Hubbard, matched pattern blocks and learned their names.  We also matched numbers and objects, wrote a book about what we like to eat, and counted markers in the counting jar.

 We began our volunteers this week and the children are so excited!  A special thanks to Mrs. Cumbaa, Mrs. Fausett, Mrs. Conley, Mrs. Strittmatter, Mrs. Finch and Mrs. Walker.  They will be working with your children on an individual basis each week and the help they give me is so appreciated.  The children have not met everyone yet, due to our shortened week and an illness, but we are looking forward to much fun and laughter with our new friends.

 We did not cook with our friends in Mrs. Scrimo’s room this week since we did not have school on Friday, but we learned a lot about Johnny Appleseed.  His birthday will be on the 26^th.

 All in all it’s been a busy week filled with learning and fun.  Keep me posted on any changes at home that might affect your child or his/her performance here at school.  Have a great weekend!
