What’s happening in the
classrooms?
Theme:
Wow, it’s the end of the first quarter! Time has
flown by! We are proud of the progress the
students have made.! They are counting with 1-to1 correspondence, sorting, identifying big/small
objects, and identifying letters. The students
are starting to answer “Wh” questions related to
a story. We are now working on position words and
recognizing numbers 1-10. We are continuing to
work on pre-writing skills (i.e. vertical/ horizontal
lines, circle), writing skills (letters P and B), and
phonemic awareness (letter sounds). We will
continue to work on attending skills and social
skills (i.e. sharing toys & communicating turning
taking). Please see the box below for the homeschool connection activities.

Math– Play Simon Says to work on position words (up,
down, on, off, over, under). To identify numbers ,go on
a number scavenger hunt.

belongings (coat, hat, gloves)
Reading– Read a story to your child. Have your child
identify the title, front, and back of the book. Ask
them “Wh” (who, what, where) questions about the
story read.
