My Family
This week's theme focus will be our families. We will work on identifying the people in our families and things we have in our homes. Families are the foundation for children's learning and well being!
Circle Time
Color Song Red: We will sing and spell red. We will find a collection of red things in our classroom.
Rudy Rectangle: We will make rectangles with big and small lines, and talk about how they are different from squares and other shapes. We will draw rectangles on the big screen.
Who Are the People in your Family song and slideshow: We will take turns to show our families and tell who each person is. (See note below about sending a picture).
