Hi Mom!
This week in preschool was such a fun beginning to the year we're going to have with Ms. Marianne!
We read two books that I thought were funny. They are called The Crayon Box that Talked and David Goes to School. Maybe the next time we go to the library we can pick them up and read them at home too!
Didn't you just love the puzzle I made for you after we read The Kissing Hand? I hope you always feel my love when you put your kissing hand next to your cheek! Let's put the puzzle together now so I can tell you all about the fun things we did in the first week of school.
We played musical instruments and practiced keeping a steady beat, especially when singing. Today we learned a song about my name. We will be singing it a lot in the next few weeks as I learn to recognize, spell and eventually write my name. I want to be able to write my name by the end of this preschool year! The song is sung to the tune of Frère Jacques (Are You Sleeping) and celebrates my name!
My name is special,
My name is special!
Say it once,
You will see!
(spell name to tune) x 2
(say name to tune( x 2
Next week, we will talk a lot more about me and how special I am. I need to fill out the All About Me paper and bring it with me to preschool on Tuesday along with anything I want to share (favorite food/ special toy /favorite book, etc.) so we can begin our All About Me unit.
Our letter this week was 's'. Since it was a short week, we only learned one letter, but we will revisit it next week and will also be focusing on other letters- a / m / r. You can help me practice the sounds that these letters make at home. Whenever we come across the letters in a book or say something that begins with that letter, we can stop and say : ______________ starts with /s/ (sound) and then say the name of the letter too. It'll help me recognize them in print and in spoken language.
This was a great week and I can't wait for next week!
Love,
Your Child
and
Ms. Marianne
