Week of
Sept. 3-7
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
Child 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 Christian Andree Flores.
Note 1: If
you would like to share eatable things such as carrot doughnut, dumplings etc.
for children to taste. It would be awesome send it on
Friday so that we close up our letter unit.
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!
In math, will be working with number 0-5. We will work on how to represent and recognize using tally marks, ten frames, name of the number, one-to-one correspondence. We will begin working this week with numbers 0-5.
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.
