The week before Thanksgiving

Hello,

Please ask your child to recite the poem in their folder, we worked on this all week!  Could parents please make sure they return the folders each week. 

Look for a Thanksgiving Day poem at the end of the week!

We are exploring the letter D this week, along with a continuation of rhyming.  We explore the D sound and words that begin with D, as well as words that rhyme.  If children make up, or say nonsense words that rhyme, this is perfectly fine as nonsense rhyming introduces the concepts of rhyming. 

We are also continuing to explore shapes, colors and patterns.  Encourage your child to explain differences between shapes, or patterns found in everyday life.

Soon we will be completing our first IB unit, 'How we organize ourselves'.  This week we will be continuing to review our knowledge of places within the school, along with faces we know.  On Friday our class will be searching for our missing gingerbread man, which will conclude with a small treat for the class! 

Our class will be preparing a special decoration for Thanksgiving Day!  This keepsake has special meaning, children's hands and feet were traced and cut to create a special Thanksgiving Day decoration. 

Have a great week!
