What we are learning
Language: Children will be doing a letter review. We will continue playing the game Make It, Break It. In this game we will say a word like "fox" then we will break it a part. We will say the first sound and leave the rest of the word in tact- /f/-ox. We are verbally teaching blending of words. Will review rhyming and segmenting words. This becomes a skill as we head toward reading. We are making a portfolio of written work.
Math: Your child will be able rote counting to 30 (4 year olds) and rote count to 10 (3 year olds) and we will be reviewing all our basic math skills.
Social Studies: Your child will be actively discussing safety. We will start with safety sign, discuss bike safety, fire safety, how to call for help via 911, water safety and how to wear a life vest. We have the Carrollton Fire Department scheduled to come and speak to us this week about fire safety.
Science:Your child will reviewing how to be safe at home.
Potato Harvest
After speaking to Ms. Pizano in the cafe-she gave me a great potato recipe to share with our students. We shared seasoned potatoes today in school. Home grown and yummy.
Warm Weather Clothes
We are asking that your do not send your child to school in flip flops, sandals or open toed shoes. They need to be able to run and play on the playground. The best shoes are tennis shoes or cross trainers. We would also like you to check your child's backpack to make sure their extra clothes are warm weather appropriate. Please make sure to send your child's back pack daily. We are noticing some students are not bring their backpacks.
We still have spills and accidents so we need to have you provide those extra clothes for those unfortunate events. The nurse is out of clothing and undergarments for the PK students.
