Hello to All!`

Good evening everyone,

I hope everyone has had a great start to their week. Today was a nice, sunny day outside, so all the boys and girls were especially happy!

We started off the day with circle time and discussed what each of us did on the weekend. I heard a lot of interesting stories from the JKA students. After, we practiced singing "L.O.V.E." in preparation for the gala.

In order to further enhance our abilities to recognize letters, we identified and sounded out different letters of the alphabet by using magnetic letters on the whiteboard. After, we went over the letter G by doing a worksheet and making an "Itsy Bitsy" letter book. We learned that G sounds like "guh" and practiced saying it through different words that start with G.

We also worked on numeracy and played a round of "Elephant Bingo" before lunch. This game is helpful in helping everyone identify different numbers from 1-20.

In order to improve our fine motor skills, we did a scissor-cutting activity. Everyone is being a pro at using the scissors. We also watched an episode on animals, Go Diego Go and had French.

Please note that:

-The last day for Lunch Moms is on Friday, February 3, 2012. However, Pizza Day order forms have also been sent out

-A letter has been sent home concerning the upcoming gala. Please find it in your child's book bag

Have a great night!!!!


Miss H.
