Hello Parents! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend! It was definitely much needed. Please remember to continue filling out the daily attestations upon arrival.
We are starting our second theme this week titled “My Family” and beginning with unit 1 titled “Who’s in My Family?”. BIG Idea: I am an important part of my family. Knowledge Focus: Children learn about family members, family roles, and unique qualities of families. Social-Emotional focus: kindness. The theme vocabulary words include: family, father, mother, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother and kindness. Math vocabulary words include: circle, corner, side, square, rectangle and triangle.
We will be learning the letter Cc, color brown, diamond and number 5. We will be reading the books “Bear’s Busy Family”, “Herman the Helper” and “Daddy Calls Me Man”. We will also be reading “HOO! HOO! Who is Awake at Night?” Scholastic weekly reader.
We will continue talking about pumpkins this week and introduce all things bats! We will take a virtual field trip to learn about bats and their habitats, as well as introduce the terms nocturnal, echolocation and explain how bats are mammals! We will complete various crafts for the two themes. We will weigh pumpkins, talk about what they look/feel like and so much more on our science table. More crafts will be displayed on our Classdojo.
For Jesus time, we will continue to sing the song “Jesus Loves Me” and continue to discuss the story of Abraham and how he is blessed by God. We will continue to recite our snack/lunch time prayer.
