A Peek Into Our Week
Literacy- Author Study and Penguins
This week, we begin our author study of Helen Lester's Tacky the Penguin series, books that focus on telling children, and adults, that it is okay to be different and it is okay to make mistakes. If you are different, then embrace it. If you make a mistake, then keep trying.
Math
One-More and One-Less Songs
Sing a song in which you add or take away one animal with each verse, such as "Five little Monkeys Jumping on a Bed," "Five Little Ducks," or "One Elephant."
Handwriting Without Tears
We are also learning the letter P:
Begin in the writing corner.
Big line down.
Frog jump up.
Little curve.
The students get excited when they share the pictures they bring from home for "the letter of the week." Thank you for extending their learning and helping your child make letter of the week connections at home.
