Have a wonderful summer!
We Will Miss You!
Thank you parents for a wonderful PreK year! We hope you all have the best summer!
Don't forget to have your child continue to work on their letters, letter sounds, pre- reading skills, writing and have some number fun this summer!
Literacy
This week we will focus on:
Alliteration is the repetition of the beginning sound in two or more neighboring words.
Sentences begin with an uppercase letter and end with a punctuation mark.
Each letter of the alphabet has a unique name, sound, and shape.
Understanding how to compare and contrast is an important comprehension strategy.
Math
This week we will focus on:
Information can be collected through a survey - asking many people the same question.
EInformation can be represented with number and symbols on a graph.
Information on graphs can help answer questions, such as How many more?
Thematic
This week we will focus on:
Change takes place all around us.
Everyone experiences change.
Some changes are hardly noticed and others can take some adjustment.
Each birthday celebrates another year of growth and change.
