Update for the Week of April 5th

Hope that you all enjoyed this beautiful, long weekend.

We are working on the letter e sound and the formation of both uppercase E and lowercase e. We have been discussing 3-D shapes such as cubes, cones, spheres and rectangular prisms. The children have been participating in various math centers to aid them in identifying these shapes. In science, we have been discussing animal shelters and habitats. We have been classifying materials by things that are man-made and those that are natural.

Please review the short vowel sounds with your child. We have been practicing them a lot! Have them sing the song, Be My Echo for each vowel.

Reading - I am again re-vamping how I want to handle books being returned to me in the literacy bags. If your child brings a book home, please have them read it a few times that evening and return it the next day. This way I can send more than one book home a week if I see fit.

Thanks!
