Early Literacy Skill
Magnetic letters are good for word play. Let your child make words using the letters. Salt, sand, rice, etc. are also fun to use when tracing letters and words with a finger.
NOVEMBER
Happy November! Thanks again for sharing your wonderful children with me! We have a super group and each child is progressing and contributing to our class.
We have been focusing especially on literacy skills. The students should know the letters and sounds from A-U. Please ask your child often to tell you each of these letters (both upper and lower case) and the sound each one makes. They should also be able to write each one in capital and lower case form. We have learned the following sight words: me, see, I, can, like, look, my, here, go, up, run. Reviewing these at home is once again a bonus for your child.
Our math skills are improving as well. We are practicing counting out loud to 50 and writing the numerals 0-10 correctly. Other math skills are being incorporated throughout each day as part of the kindergarten curriculum.
Social skills are also a pertinent part of kindergarten. Ask your child about using their “flexible brains” and not being a “topic twister”.
Have a nice week and as always, please feel free to contact me any time!
