It has been a wonderful week with the cuties! :-)

and hand motion for the letter Aa.

Aa. Please add it to your feely letter ring and review Ss.
*glued pictures of Aa words in our alphabet

the upper case letters with the lower case letters. Can your child
remember the number of letters in the alphabet?

our Poems and Songs folder.

*learned the story of The little Red House
(an apple) and made a riddle book to share with you.

*Painted a rainbow. Can your child tell you the order of the
colors in a rainbow?
*Made rainbow chains (to practice the
word/preposition “through.”)
*Painted ourselves with details for our body parts
and clothes. We are practicing body
parts that may not be the easiest like earlobe, elbow, waist, wrist, eyebrow.
* Practiced one-to-one correspondence and using
a ten frame in math to count apples and then made our own.
*Made name bracelets to practice the letters in
our names and other students in the class.

NEXT WEEK
Next week we will learn the sound for Tt. We
will make applesauce to review our letter Aa. We will begin activities about
families in preparation of UN Day, and we will celebrate USA day on Wednesday. The cuties get a break on
Thursday and Friday as the teachers will be in professional development.
UNITED
NATION’S
During the next couple of weeks we will be doing
activities pertaining to UN Day and family celebrations. The following 2 days
are ones for which you will need to have your child prepared. Thanks in
advance for your help.
On Wednesday, September 18th the
Pre-K classes will celebrate a USA DAY with (indoor) camping, making
s’mores and western dancing. We invite every Pre-K student to join the
spirit of the day by wearing red-white-&-blue, whether it is their
school uniform, an alternate red-white-&-blue outfit, or full Americana
attire with blue jeans, cowboy hats, boots, etc.
On Friday, September 27th, Pre-K
students will join the kindergarten-to-2nd grade for the UN Assembly
in the High School Gym. As part of this celebration, students are
invited to dress in the native costume of their home country, a costume
representing their heritage or even a costume of a country in which they have
lived or visited.
These two days will be an alternate dress days though children may
also wear their regular school uniform.
HOMEWORK
In the Friday Folder is the newest homework, a
family banner. Please read the directions that are attached to the banner
and return it no later than October 1st. Have fun…the entire family can
help with this projectJ
ICE-CREAM
Day
Wednesday is ice-cream/popsicle day in the
cafeteria (we are never sure which one we will get). Ice-cream comes as
the desert for all school lunches on WEDNESDAY. If your child is having home
lunch, you can still order ice-cream for your child by circling “ice-cream” on
the school lunch form on Wednesday. If you choose this we will deduct
$1.00 from your child’s SAS card.
