This week we learned all about our "school family".  Our focus included vocabulary words such as "classmates" and "routines".  Ask your child what these words mean?  We enjoyed getting to know each other's favorite foods as we learned about healthy lunches.  Our ability to identify our names is improving each day.  We are working hard on learning to write the letters in our names.  Encourage your little one to practice writing their name at home.

Every letter can be identified by its unique name and shape.  The letters in works, including names, have a specific sequence.  

Name recognition is a pre-k skill.  Your child is working hard at identifying their own name as well as their classmates names.  Ask your child how many classmates they can name for you.

Objects can be described and sorted by attributes (color, shape and size). 

 Objects can also be compared for likeness and differences.  

This week we will focus on following directions as well as having self control.

Ask your child to demonstrate S.T.A.R. breathing.  We all can use a little help with deep breathing and self control.  Your little one is learning some great strategies for managing their emotions.
