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 Zz. The vocabulary words for this letter are: zig-zag, zoo, zebra, zero, zipper, zucchinni

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 Diego V.  (Prek”A”) and Catalina (Prek”B”).

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

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.,The 26 characters in this rhythmic, rhyming baby book are a lowercase alphabet with attitude. "A told b, and b told c, 'I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree'"--which probably seemed like a good idea until the other 23 members of the gang decided to follow suit. The palm tree standing straight and tall on the first page begins to groan and bend under its alphabetical burden. First the coconuts fall off, then ("Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!") all the letters also end up in a big heap underneath.

If you have any magazines at home that you do not need at all. Please send them over to your kid’s classroom. They are very welcome. Thank you.

In math, will continue working with numbers. We will continue working with numbers 0-15 on how to represent and identify using tally marks, ten frames, number formation, and name of the number, one-to-one correspondence, and sequencing.

Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “The Counting Zoo”

In Science we will begin learning the unit about Zoo Animals. We are

going to learning and discussing about some different types of zoo and Wild Animals. Some of the vocabulary words we will be focusing are: lion, gorilla, macaw, monkey, zebra, ostrich, hippo, giraffe, elephant, alligator, snake, peacock. If you have any books or posters, ideas or any other material that you would like to share with us it would be greatly appreciated.
