Dear Parents,
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! I hope you have had a wonderful day of love
and friendship—we have had a whole week of it!
We do have amazing cuties! We also celebrated Arjun’s 5th
birthday! Happy Birthday Arjun! It was
another great week!!!! J
Here are some things that
happened this week. We…
*learned the name, sound,
and formation for the letter Ll.
*brainstormed/ listed/cut
out words that begin with Ll and wrote them in our alphabet journals.
*added LACE to our feely
letter Ll. Please remember to add this to your feely letter ring
and review all of the letters.
*learned the song Mary Had
A Little Lamb.
*made LOOK BOOKS! These are coming home in the blue Friday
Folder bags—please have your child read them to you! They used inventive spelling to sound out the
words for their pictures, and I am really proud of the kiddos! With learning to sound out and spell, the
important thing is not for the cuties to spell everything correctly, but to
(with my help) think what sounds they hear in the words they were spelling and
write those down. Definitely praise your
child for their work. J
*made Valentine’s mailboxes
*played our favorite “draw
a pig” game
*looked at the number of
LETTERS in our names and practiced writing our numbers, using a 10 frame and
tallying.
*compared the number of
letters in our names to our friends
*continued reading a number
of related stories to The Three Little Pigs (including The Fourth Little Pig,
Ziggy and the Three Pigs, and The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig.)
*watched the teachers ACT
OUT The Three Little Pigs in the ABC hall (I was the Big Bad Wolf—the cuties
could not keep from laughing and screaming at me the entire time! I personally think we all deserved Oscars,
but they might not agree J J)
NEXT
WEEK
Next week we will be
learning the letter Bb, continue with our Fairy Tale unit, and participate in
BEAR activities.
PAJAMA DAY!!!!
Next Friday, February 21st
the pre-K children will have Pajama Day! That’s right, they get to come to school dressed in their
pajamas!!! J We will spend the day reading lots of books, making a tasty
snack and even watching a movie with the entire pre-k as we enjoy our lunch in
the ABC Hall.
Please have your child bring a teddy bear to school on Thursday. If you don’t have a teddy
another stuffed toy will do. The bear will stay overnight in school as we
will use them again on Friday. Please do not send a teddy that your child
cannot sleep without on Thursday night.
We will be having a “Teddy
Bear Picnic” for lunch on Friday (Feb 21st) so it would be fabulous
if you could send in a HOME LUNCH that day instead of ordering the school
lunch. (or, if you are okay with me
serving the sandwich for those who want the school lunch…. We are going to be
eating on the floor!!!!!) Please let me
know if you are NOT okay with me changing your child’s lunch to a sandwich for
next Friday if they are still going to order school lunch.
