A PEEK AT THE WEEK

This week we will be learning about fire safety. How many fire safety rules can you think of? What do fire fighters wear to keep from being hurt? What equipment do fire fighters need? These are some of the questions we will be discussing this week. We will practice a fire drill and discuss why we go to a meeting spot. We will also practice fire safety drills like stop, drop, and roll. We will be singing songs about Smokey Bear and fire fighters. If will be a fun week. If possible, please practice a fire drill at home.

BE ON THE LOOKOUT

This week our high frequency word is the. As you read stories together see if you can spot the word in print. I, a, and see are other words your child should recognize.

"Where do I begin to read?" "What is a period for?" "What is a question mark for?" These are all questions to ask your child as you read to him/her.

ABC AND 1,2,3

We are working hard to learn the letters of the alphabet along with matching capital case letters to lower case letters. The consonant sounds are being taught as we practice the alphabet through writing and games. This week we will be clapping out syllables in words.
