Week of April 5

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!
"Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord." Colossians 3:20
"Do all things without complaining and disputing." Philippians 2:14
"Even a child is known by his deeds." Proverbs 20:11

Phonics & Handwriting: What their caterpillar or ladybug ate; High Frequency Word readers

Literature: "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," "The Grouchy Ladybug," and "Do you want to be my friend?"

Journal: Drawings of Ladybugs and Snails

Math: Identifying nickels; Counting by 5's; Acting out addition and subtraction stories

Centers: Learning our emergency telephone numbers as well as our friends' telephone numbers.

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:
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.
