New Beginnings Class Newsletter
For the Week of 10/2-10/6
What We Worked On
Read Aloud- We read the stories "We're Going on a Leaf Hunt" and "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves." We went on a nature scavenger hunt and looked for leaves of different colors, rocks, acorns, and squirrels. We'll continue to work on our fall theme throughout October and November.
Skills- We continued to work on the letter "B" and the numbers "2" and "3."
Looking Ahead- Next week we will do our Goldilocks and the Three Bears Unit.
What Can I Do?
Please continue to encourage your child to use their words and try to ignore it when they use a whine, grunt, or point at something. At school, we continue to prompt them with one to two word phrase to use. For example, if they want more of something, we ask them to say "more" and we'll accept any attempt for them to say it, including just the "m" sound. When they want help with something, we prompt them with "help please." If they are upset or mad about something, we give them the words "I'm mad" so they will be able to identify the emotion. It helps them to develop their communication skills.
