This week we will continue
learning about our abc. We will be working on recognizing the letters with
their sound, letter formation, vocabulary of the letter, remember always
emphasizing on the short vowel sounds. This week we will be studying about the
letter Ff. The vocabulary for this
letter is: fire, fan, fox, fish, fork,
five, feather, frog, flower, finger, four
Children assigned should take
from three (3) to five (5) items that they have at home that begin with this
letter. Items should be at school on Monday and we will send them back on Friday.
For this week we have Jens Krauter
(Prek”A”) and Elise Kaplan (Prek”B”).
Note 1: If you would like to
share eatable things such as fettuccinni, etc. for children to taste. It would
be awesome if instead of Monday you send it on Friday so that we close up our
letter unit.
Note 2: There will always be one
student of each section that will be assigned with the letter of the week but,
there is a new homework. Every Tuesday some of you will receive a Ziploc bag
and you will have to send one thing that fits in the bag that begins with the
letter of the week.
Thank you for your support!!
The following link you will find
a PowerPoint presentation with the vocabulary, in case you would like to review
at home with your child.
Some of the stories we will be
reading this week are:
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss is a 1960 children's book by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss
Geisel). A simple rhyming book for learner readers, it is a book with a
freewheeling plot about a boy and a girl, and the many amazing creatures they
have for friends and pets. One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish was part of the
Beginner Book Video series which included Oh, the Thinks You Can Think! and The
Foot Book.
The Rainbow Fish is an
international bestseller and a modern classic. Eye-catching foilstamping, glittering
on every page, offers instant child-appeal, but it is the universal message at
the heart of this simple story about a beautiful fish, who learns to make
friends by sharing his most prized possessions, that gives the book its lasting
value.
In math, will be working with
numbers. We will work on how to represent and recognize numbers using tally
marks, ten frames, name of the number, one-to-one correspondence and writing the
number. We will begin working this week with numbers 0-7. We will be also be working with AB Patterns.
Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “Five
Green Spreckled Frogs”
We are attaching you the link of
the videos of this song we will be learning throughout the week. We will learn
two versions of this nursery rhyme. Just a little tip to have fun at home
listening and acting out our song.
In our Science unit we will be
talking about PARTS OF THE BODY. We
will continue with this unit this week. Some of the vocabulary words we will be
learning this week are: head, mouth,
eyes, ears, nose, toes, fingers, arm, elbow, and hands.
If you have any poster or any other material that you are willing to share with
the class, we would appreciate if you will let us borrow them from you.
