Week of April 12

Author of the month: Eric Carle

Focus for the week ~

Bible: Review with your child...you'd be surprised how quickly they are learning these!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15

Phonics & Handwriting: High Frequency Word readers; finishing up ABC Bible verse books

Literature: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," "Today is Monday," and "Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too?"

Journal: Drawings of baby animals for Spring

Math: Identifying largest & smallest shapes; Identifying and covering half of a shape; Covering designs using tangrams; Paying for items to 25 cents using nickels

Centers: Learning our emergency telephone numbers and home addresses; Eric Carle puzzles (ladybug, caterpillar, and butterfly); alphabet puzzles

Creative Movement (Tuesday)

Explorer Zone (Thursday): The kids are doing SUCH a great job learning their songs for the musical. If you have not done so already, make sure to let me know if your child will not be able to attend. Ticket sales are going on now.

Spanish (Tuesday & Thursday)

Reinforcement ideas for home:
1) You will notice a laminated 100s chart in your child's folder. Please use pennies, nickels, and dimes to have your child practice counting by ones, fives and tens.
2) Go over your child's birthday, phone number & address.
3) Use the laminated 100s chart to have your child practice counting to 100. Call out a number and have them cover it with a bean or penny.
