Kindergarten Updates
We have jumped right back into our kindergarten routine with a very busy week.
During our Literacy Center time, we have been working with our letters. We are learning each letter’s name and sound. We have been identifying capital and lowercase letters in books, signs, and in our own writing! Practice looking for letters at home. Ask your child to name the letter and the sound. We are also beginning our handwriting practice with capital letters. Ask your child about the "frog jump capitals" and how we make them!
In Math, we played a partner match game and explored measurement by comparing lengths. We used words like longer and shorter to find a friend with the matching length of paper. We have also been creating patterns with color. Ask your child to create a pattern with colors for you!
Every morning, we count the days we’ve been in kindergarten. Can you believe it has already been 15 days?! We love every moment we get to spend with your precious child!
