T is for Transportation

This week we are focusing on the letter Tt which fits in great with our theme: transportation! Many types of vehicles start with T: trucks, trains, tanks, tanker trucks, transporters, etc. Focus on the T sound if you see one of these vehicles. We are continuing to study the numbers 0-10 and are beginning to focus on the number words.

Mother Goose is Teaching Us!

This week we are studying different nursery rhymes. They provide lots of practice for your child. Our focus letter of the week is H which goes with Humpty Dumpty and Hickory Dickory Dock. We are still practicing counting which is found in One, Two Buckle My Shoe. Three of our four popcorn words (I, little, the) are found in Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Have fun this week revisiting nursery rhymes with your child!

P.S. I will post a slideshow of our dress-up days over the weekend.

G is for Guymon

This week we are spotlighting the letter G. A great way to focus on this sound is to work on where your child lives-Guymon! You can find g's all around town in store names. We are also working on the numbers 0-10 during September. Please practice counting items at home: plates, forks, chairs, etc.

What Color Is It?

This week we are focusing on colors and shapes. A great way to practice colors and shapes is to ask your child about street/traffic signs and traffic lights. We are spotlighting the letter O also. Continue working on the popcorn words I and am.

L is for Learning!

This is the first full week of school this year. Our theme this week is the alphabet with a spotlight on the letter L. A great way to practice this sound is to share a lollipop with your child. Ask your child to say "lollipop" several times focusing on the L sound. We are learning about the calendar in math including the days of the week and months of the year. It is going to be a great year!
