Hello!
I am looking forward to seeing you at the Parent Orientation on Tuesday at 6:25 in room 103. I have lots to share with you about your child's day and come with questions!💖
It has been wonderful getting to know your children. They really are a sweet group of students. As we begin "academics" this week, the children will be practicing how to work independently. This is a process for sure! Any practice at home with having your child do a few more things "on his/her own" would benefit this process. For example, asking your child to pick up some toys or give him/her a challenge to build something independently with blocks/Legos and tell them you will check back in a few minutes to see their progress (but do not do it for them:).
HERE is a short article with some realistic suggestions on how to build independence in your child.
This week, the students will:
LANGUAGE ARTS-
- focus on the letters t, b, f
- learn a new "trick word"= like
- practice writing routines this week and complete directed drawings and representational drawings.
- differentiate between the 3 letter (t, b, f) sounds while playing games and completing activities
- begin Module 0 in our Wit and Wisdom language arts curriculum (the theme is Wild About Books)
- represent numbers 0-5 with objects and or pictures
- sequence numbers 0-5
- name numbers 0-5
- count to 10 in a variety of ways (orally as well as dot to dot counting)
- name shapes and recognize shapes in our environment
- complete Second Step lesson #2: focusing attention (look for a home link to come home early in the week!)
- practice Social Thinking lesson 1 and 2 (whole body listening and voice levels)
- learn more about the components of H.E.A.R.T
- continue to build our classroom community, review classroom rules and learn each others' names
- explore the "take a break" space
- participate in yoga exercises!
