PK 4.3 - Weekly newsletter
Dear families,
Last week, we started lists of children’s ideas and questions about clothes.
This week we started by being in charge of flag ceremony!!! We also worked on investigations to expand our ideas, find answers to questions, and learning important skills and concepts connected to the features of clothes. We discussed different sizes in clothing, shapes that we see in clothes, buttons, pockets and counting and had a little site visit to hunt for buttons, pockets and zippers!
We're also starting to get familiar with our country for International Day by reading some folk/fairy tales and learning about windmills and wind energy!
At home you can examine fabrics together and discuss how clothes are made. Look at labels and find out where the clothes were made. Look at pictures from the past and notice how the clothing differs from clothing today.
Next week, we will continue our exploration of clothing investigating how we take care of our clothes. We're only going to be together for 3 days, but you can be certain that we'll make the best of them!
Objectives of the week:
- Demonstrates knowledge of the alphabet
- Compares and measures
- Demonstrates emergent writing skills
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
