Coats

As the weather gets colder, we will have lots and lots of coats in our classroom. In order to make sure that everyone gets the right coat at the end of the day, please make sure to label your child's coat with his/her name. We will do our best to get every coat home every day!

When the snow arrives, please also make sure to do the same thing with snow pants. Thanks!

Recap of the Last Few Weeks

Over the past few weeks we have had so much fun learning our letter sounds with our zoo friends.We practice all letter sounds every day, but in the past few weeks we have really focused on A, B,C, M and T. You may have noticed work coming home for these letters. To help our reading and writing we practice the letter sound and name as well as how to write it correctly on the lines. We are also working really hard to identify beginning sounds. Ask your child what his/her name begins with! We are also learning the difference between capital and lower case letters.

We are working really hard on writing our names with only one capital letter at the beginning. The rest of the letters are lower case. We sent home a name sheet with your child's name written 4 times. You can place this under a sheet of white paper and "magically" they can trace their name with a crayon on the blank paper! We have been trying to create "rainbow" names.

In math we have been learning counting to three and sorting into 2 groups. We are also learning how to sort the same groups in different ways.

All of these skills can be easily reinforced at home. If you need any ideas, please let me know! I have a ton of resources for any skill you would like to practice.

Have an amazing weekend!

Healthy Snacks

As part of the new snack guidelines, we have been providing the students with delicious fresh fruits and vegetables. Miss Kris has been doing an amazing job at picking snacks that are not only healthy, but also fun to try. I have been so proud of the students who tried some new things...and asked for more! We have snacked on: tomatoes, peppers of all colors, snap peas, apples and more! Here are some pictures of the kids enjoying some cucumbers.

We are building a zoo!

As part of our phonics curriculum, we associate an animal with each letter sound. We are looking for new zoo friends to add to our collection! I am attaching a list of zoo friends for each letter. If you have any beanie babies that you are no longer collecting at home we would love to add them to our zoo!

We also use them during rest time as buddies. Thank you for all your help!
