Week of February 8

Author of the month: Kevin Henkes

Focus for the week ~ Letter Vv

Bible: "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork." Psalms 19:1

*Voles look a lot like mice except that they have short tails and their noses aren't as pointy.

*We don't often see voles, but they live all over the world. Even though we don't see them, they are around. It is the same way with God. God is everywhere.

Phonics & Handwriting: Letter Vv - Words that begin with Vv

Literature: "Owen" and "Owen's Marshmallow Chick"

Journal: Drawings of their favorite Vegetable word

*Favorite Vegetables of our Four Year Olds:

1) Carrots (with 8 votes)

2) Corn & Tomatoes (tied with 3 votes each)

3) Broccoli (with 2 votes)

Math: Paying for items to $1.00 using dimes; Identifying ordinal position; Graphing a picture on a pictograph

Centers: Vv handwriting, Vv book, lacing Vv letters, bring your pet to the Vet Day, harvesting of Vegetables, real Vegetable paintings

The Librarian for next week is MADISON. I'll send home our "ABC tub" for her to bring in show-and-tell item(s) that begin with Yy (our letter next week). Please also bring in an 8.5" x 11" sheet with "All about me" info that she can share with the class.

Creative Movement (Tuesday)

Explorer Zone (Thursday): cancelled due to snow

Spanish (Tuesday & Thursday)

Reinforcement ideas for home:

1. Talk about items that start with the letter Vv

2. Review Vv and other bible verses

3. Incorporate your child's favorite Vegetables and Fruits into their lunch every day

4. Set up a grocery store at home and have the kids practice paying for 10 different items with dimes (priced 10 cents to 1 dollar)
