We hope you all have had a
marvelous week! Ours has been very
busy! This week we worked hard to learn
all about the letter M. M has been tricky
for many to learn to write. Please
continue working on this letter at home with your child. This week your child was introduced to a
non-fiction book, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. The boys and girls have been fascinated to
learn all about Helen Keller and how she had to learn. Ask your child to tell you all about it. We are also working on learning how to clap
the syllables we hear in words, how to track words in books from left to right,
and following the rules in our classroom.
The children have been excited to
check out a new book each day at the library.
They are being very responsible with their books. Don’t forget to read each night with your
child. It’s one of the most important
times you can spend with them.
Today, we had story time with the
Bringing Books to Life program from The Nashville Public Library. She shared many great books with your kids
and got them excited about our upcoming puppet show.
Please make an
effort to reinforce at home the things being taught at school (especially
handwriting, letter names and sounds).
Give your child lots of opportunity to better develop their fine motor
skills. Don’t be afraid of using
playdough, paint, markers and scissors.
Participating in these activities with your child will be fun for them
and rewarding for you. Get creative!!
Parent Teacher
conferences are fast approaching. Please
sign up for a time to attend at the door of your child’s classroom when you
drop them off or at pick up time. We
must have a conference with each family.
Important Reminder:

Grandparent’s

Please be sure to fill out and return the form that was sent home
yesterday. All the children will be
performing at the program. We hope
everyone can attend and can’t wait to meet all those wonderful grandparents! Parents, you are more than welcome to attend
this as well. The kids will have a lot of
great things to show off. If your child
plans to stay after the program, they will be in Extended Day and will need to bring their lunch box.
