And Happy Epiphany!
This year has been off to a great start. We began a new unit on poetry, rhymes and jingles. If you have any at home, share them with your child. We are focusing on word families/rhyming words. Even if they make up a word, encourage it if they are following the word pattern. For example: mat, cat, sat, dat, lat, rat, gat are all acceptable because they all follow the -at pattern. Don't discourage and tell them it is not a real word. We will get to that in life! :)
We are focusing more on squares and recalling other shapes. The 3's will be working on number identification and the 4's on not only identification, but writing numbers 1-5 now and 6-10 later in the month.
We will begin an exciting part of being 4 next week! Our 4 and 5 year olds will begin preparing for our very own "opera" which we will put on for parents on March 7. The 3's will be working with Ms. Munoz while the 4's practice. This is a great experience, so start asking them about it on Tuesday. The children will watch a couple of versions of performances along with reading the story. They will each get a part and need minimal costuming help from you. I can't wait!
Finally, if you have not signed up for Science, please remember to do so. I forgot to post our previous scientist, MC, so here is her and her trusty sidekick. They did 3 experiments: which solution cleans a penny best, invisible ink and sucking an egg into a bottle. I am sure you can imagine the group favorite.
Until next time...
