Dear Parents,
We
hope you had a fantastic weekend. This week we will be working with the letter
Oo. Some of the stories that we will be reading are the following:
Olive the Octopus wants to be a juggler!
Bright cut-paper collages bring a traditional counting rhyme to new
life, allowing young readers to take a tour of nature as they learn to count
from one to ten.
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, a young girl and her
father go owling on a wintry night in the woods.
In our Phonemic Awareness we are going to be doing Alliteration
activities with the kids. What is alliteration? Alliteration is the use of the
same consonant sounds in words that are near each other. It is the sound, not
the letter that is important: therefore ‘candy’ and ‘Cindy’ do not alliterate,
but ‘cool’ and ‘kids’ do. It is a great exercise to help our kids learn
phonetic alphabet awareness and develop concentration and memory skills. For
example:
Peter Piper picked a peck
of pickled peppers.
Sally swam silently in the
sea.
The children will get the chance to do their own alliteration using
their name!!!
In Math we are going to be working with number 14 and we are going to
introduce the concept of Ordinal Positions. We will play games using the words first,
second, third, fourth, and fifth.
In Science we are going to be talking about The Five Senses! We will be
reading the book My Five Senses by Aliki. If you have any book that
talks about our senses, please let us borrow them from you!
We are going to study opposites.
Have your child look around your house for opposites!
Last week the kids enjoyed making the Life Cycle of a Butterfly with
marshmallows, gummy worms, pretzels and chocolate. Thank you for bringing the
ingredients to Milla Alvarez and Mia Ortiz. This week Nora Paige Herrera and
Ellyn Maria Jenks will be in charge of donating the ingredients we will be
using. Thanks in advance.
Show and Tell Time
Since the children really enjoy sharing their toys with their friends at
school. We have decided that from now on, we will have show and tell every Friday. Please help your child make a
wise decision on what to bring to school. Avoid big and noisy toys.
Play language games with puppets. Have the puppet say,
"My name is Mark. I like words that rhyme with my name. Does park rhyme
with Mark? Does ball rhyme with Mark?"
