Hi Parents,
Short weeks always throw my schedule off. I finally realized today was Thursday and the blog needed to be updated. September has kicked off to be a great month! We have started reading From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. As we get more familiar with the book we will start acting out the actions that go along with it. This is a great way to practice identifying body parts and naming actions to go along with them. This is also a great way to practice following directions. If you want them to follow one step directions ask your child to point to a particular body part (for examples touch your head) and if you want them to practice multi step directions add the word then (for example touch your head then touch your elbow). Also see if your student is able to point out body parts on other people.
Also we have started practicing our nursery rhyme What are Little Boys Made of? What are Little Girls Made of? This is a great time to open the discussion about real vs. pretend. The students love to be silly with new concepts.
Important Dates:
Wednesday, September 26 6-7pm Chick- Fil- A night
Sunday, September 30 Fall Festival
Friday, October 5 at 5:30- Flag Football Game Teachers vs. Parents to raise money for Koala Cares
