August 25th, 2025 Week #3
"My School Family"
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.
"My 5 Senses"
In our upcoming week we will focus on "Our Bodies". The five senses will be explored as we learn all about our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and hands. Students will share many of their favorite things as they describe events using their five senses.
Important Dates:
August 29: College Colors Day
September 1: Labor Day - No School
September 5: Grandparents Day
September 15: International Dot Day
September 22 - Professional Development; No School
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.
Please remember ...
Your child needs the following items sent in their backpack, every day:
*a change of clothes in a ziploc bag
*a water bottle that they can manage without spilling
* label water bottle, backpack and lunchbox
*2 healthy snack items (no items that require utensils, please)
*Please send one water/drink for lunch to stay in the lunchbox and another water bottle for snack
