A peek at our learning this week....
This week our class will be focusing on plants and what they need in order to grow, such as water, food, and air. Children will read stories about gardens.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we will be practicing.

High-Frequency Word: my Encourage your child to say sentences using the word my. Record the sentences on paper and leave a blank where the word my should be. Then have your child write the word my in each space.
Category Words: size words Play a game called “Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down.” For example, say a true or false statement. Have your child do a thumbs-up gesture if the statement is true. If it is not true, have your child show a thumbs-down gesture.
