Dear Prek Parents,
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 Dd. The vocabulary for this letter is: dog, doughnut, dolphin, dinosaur, door, doll, duck, drum, dress, dice,
donkey
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 Gina Minou (Prek”A”)
and Cormac (Prek”B”).
Note 1: If you would like to share eatable things such as carrot doughnut,
dumplings 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 will be 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:
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs, by Mo Willems
This is another fun book from the
creator of the Pigeon series and the Elephant and Piggy books. Not only do kids love this one, but you’ll
appreciate all the little jokes thrown in.
When the dinosaurs set a trap of three giant bowls of chocolate pudding,
“a poorly supervised little girl named Goldilocks came along.” Goldilocks is clueless that she has just
fallen into a trap until she hears the dinosaurs talking about their catch. “Goldilocks took a minute to stop and think,
which was longer than she was used to stopping and thinking.”
How
Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? by Jane Yolen & Mark Teague
is a fun rhyming story about dinosaurs and their silly bedtime routines. It is
a great one to read at bedtime, too! While Jane Yolen has several dinosaur
books in this collection, this the only one we have read {shame on me}. I guess
I have my work cut out for me at the library this week!
Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “Five
Little Ducks”
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 Social Studies unit we will begin
talking about HONDURAS. The vocabulary words for this unit is the
following: flag, coat of arms, anthem,
orquid, pine tree, map, deer, money, heroe, macaw.
Honduras Independence day is
celebrated on September 15th, for this occation we will be having
our traditional “Desayuno Catracho”.
We will be needing you support for our
activity, this week we will send a letter home asking for specific articles or
food for this special day. +
