What We Are Learning This Month!
Social Emotional
January is "It's ok to be Different", month where we learn that everyone is unique!
We will celebrate Dr. King by reading The Color of Us & the children will discuss the similarities and differences they see between themselves.
We will also read It's Okay to be Different .
Physical
Cognitive
Students will be working on developing a positive approach to learning!
That means they will be learning to...
Attend & Engage,
Persist,
Solve problems,
Show curiosity and motivation, and
Show flexibility and inventiveness in thinking!
Literacy
Be Sure to Practice the Alphabet
Sing along to the ‘ABC’ song, read books about the alphabet to help children identify letters.
We are also going to be working on being able to retell a story that we heard or that we know!
Language
We will work on having a conversation using three to five exchanges with another person.
We will learn and build our vocabulary with words in our new area of study in Tools of the Mind - Medical!
Math
We are going to be comparing basic shapes such as... circles, squares, triangles, rectangles to start and then we will move on to hexagons, trapezoids, octagons, and pentagons.
Be Sure to Practice Colors and Shapes
Identify the many different colors and shapes found in the environment to your child.
We will also work with identifying and making patterns.
