A PEEK AT THE WEEK Oct 4 - 8
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. It 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 like. 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.
KIWI PACKS
Please remember to return kiwi packs on the following day that they are sent home. Even if you did not get time to read the story send it back as we will also be re-reading the stories. It will benefit your child to be able to have his/her story there. The books will be in the packs for an extended amount of time so you will be able to share “Book Time” together. Thanks.
