Dear Parents,
This week we are going to be
working with the letter Ll. The vocabulary words that we are going to be
focusing on are the following: lollipop, lizard, lemon, light bulb,
ladder, lamb, lips, lobster, library, lamp, lightning, lettuce, ladybug, lid, and
log.
Some of the stories we are going to be reading this
week are:
This story explores the
concepts of time, size and manners through the exploits of one very grouchy
ladybug. When it refuses to share aphids with another ladybug, the grouchy
insect flies off to pick a fight an hour with a succession of ever-larger
animals.
Sid
is a seed who is quite at home, living in his little underground world. He has
two living companions, a spider and a caterpillar, which are making plans to
become something great. Slowly his friends leave on their exciting journeys,
leaving Sid by himself, longing for his own life changing event.
In Math, we are going to be
introducing number 17. The children will make sets with this number. We are
also going to be constructing pictographs. Each child will have the chance to
create their own graph.

In Science, we are going to be
introducing the unit of PLANTS. This week we are going to be
studying the parts of the plant. We are going to be discussing the ways to take
care of the plants. If you have anything that can help us with this unit, we
would really appreciate it if you can let us borrow it.
We would like to give a big
