Dear Prek Parents,
Reminders:
-This coming Friday, Nov. 17th
is Early Dismissal 11:45am for ALL
STUDENTS.
-Every Tuesday Homework is send home.
Homework should be back to school on Thursday. Please don’t forget to send the
folder back
-On Tuesday the homework we will send with
a bag in which you will have to bring something to school that begins with the
letter of the week. This is to help us with our letter of the week manipulative
center.
-Please make sure your child is only
bringing toys of the letter of the week we are studying. We have been receiving
children with toys that do not belong to the letter.
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 Kk. The vocabulary for this letter is: koala, kangaroo,
king, key, kiwi, kite, kiss, kids, kitchen, kitten, karate, kettle.
Two children will be assigned each
week with each letter. In this case, the 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 Monday and we
will send them back on Friday. For this week we have Victoria (Prek”A”) and Zachary
(Prek”B”)
***Note: On Friday, the assigned students, will
have to share for 22 friends eatable things such as kit-kat chocolate,
kiwi, fruit kabob, , letter Kk cookies, etc. for children to taste. We do this
to close 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.
We are attaching links of some of Letter Kk videos if you would like to
listen and sing at home with your kid:
We would like your support on
occasionally review the ABC’s letter names and sound. Here
are some songs we use in class every day.
Some of the stories we will be reading
this week are:
Percy
the Park Keeper by Nick Butterworth, loves
to spend time with his animal friends, and his work in the park keeps him very
busy. Wherever Percy is, his animal friends are never far away. The animals
often need Percy's help, and he is always there to lend a hand. Read about what
happened when a chilly fox needed warming up, or when a dirty badger was
offered a bath. Find out how Percy helped an unhappy hedgehog hold a balloon,
or a squirrel find her lost acorns. And laugh along as the animals take charge
when Percy isn't feeling well—with very surprising results! A treasure trove of
endearing tales.
A
Kissing Hand for Chester Raccoon by Audrey Penn
is the abbreviated version of A Kissing Hand. While older kids may enjoy the
longer version, younger ones may like to listen to the shorter version. This is
perfect for kids who are anxious about leaving their parents. It reminds them
that a parents’ love for their child will be there, even if they aren’t
together.
In math, will be working with numbers.
We will work on how to represent and recognize numbers using tally marks, ten
frames, number formation, name of the number, one-to-one correspondence. We will
begin working this week with numbers 0-10.
We would like your support on
occasionally review counting and numbers. Here are some songs we use in class
every day:
Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “This Old Man”
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 Science we will begin a unit about FOOD. We are going to be discussing
healthy and unhealthy snacks. Children will get the chance to name food that is
eaten during the breakfast, lunch and dinner. They will also be able to name
and identify the differences between a fruit and a vegetable. Some of the
vocabulary words we will be focusing are: fruit, vegetables, sweets, meat, milk,
healthy and unhealthy foods. If you have
any books or posters, or any other material that you would like to share with
us it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support.
