This week we will continue learning about our abc.

This week we will be studying about the letter Xx. The vocabulary words for this letter are: xylophone, ax, ox, six, box, fox, mix, x-ray, taxi, wax

Children assigned should take at least five (5) items that they have at home that begin with this letter. Items should be at school on Tuesday and we will send them back on Friday. For this week we have Alejandro (Prek”A”) and Monse (Prek”B”).

Some of the stories we will be reading this week are:

There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly, Everyone knows the song about the old lady who swallowed a fly, a spider, a bird, and even worse, but who's ever seen what's going on inside the old lady's stomach? With this inventive die-cut artwork, Simms Tabak gives us a rollicking, eye-popping version of the well-loved poem.

We will also be working with Opposites. Children will be able to identify opposites.
