What Happened Last Week!
What Will Happen This Week!!
Matt and Molly
We will answer questions about the story. We will also try to sequence the story. Our Matt and Molly stories have four parts and they are numbered one through four. This helps the students to sequence them in the order that they happened.
Things to work on at home:
Let your children try to zip their coats and backpacks.
Let them try to put on their clothes.
Ask questions; some what, where, and who; and some yes/no questions
Ask questions about how things are similar and how they are different.
Table Time Activites
Tuesday - Paper Plate Penguin - Paint paper plate black; cut out circle, add die cut eyes, beak and feet.
Thursday - MOTOR GROUP- Our occupational and physical therapists will be implementing theme-oriented fine and gross motor activities during this time.
Friday - Science/Sensory time - We will be making a "snow" substance and playing with it.
