C or K?

This week we are learning the letter C which sounds like the letter K. To know which letter to use at the beginning of a word, we are learning the following poem: "C comes before i and e. K comes before the other 3 (a, o, u)." Please practice this poem this week!

Buzzzzzz

This week we are focusing on the letter Z. Acting like a bumble bee is a great way to practice this sound. We are continuing with ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, etc.). I just want to say that I really enjoy your children in class. They are so bright and funny!

Happy New Year!

Welcome back to school! We are beginning to work with ordinal numbers in math. An easy way to work on this skill at home is to line up a row of toys and ask which toy is 1st, 4th, 6th, 2nd, etc. We are also learning the letter U this week.

K is for Kitchen

This week we are working on the letter K and continuing our work with shapes. Talk about your kitchen with your child and things that are in it. You can have them practice counting by counting windows, cabinet doors, handles, chairs, legs of the table, etc.

Shapes Are All Around!

This week we are beginning to learn about the shapes and their relationships to each other. An easy way to practice this skill is to ask your child to name the shapes you see around you at home (a square window, a rectangle door, a circle or oval table, a triangle piece of pizza). We will also discuss cylinders, cones, spheres, and cubes. We are working on the letter R also.
