Making sure they are familiar with their alphabet sounds!
I love this Jack Hartmann version - Jack and Katie go over all the correct pronunciations of the sounds, and reinforce that vowels can also say their long sounds!
Making sure your little learner can identify and share how they are feeling!
Every day we do a feelings check in! They will learn that all feelings have a purpose and how to self-regulate the feelings that try to get out-of-their-control. This video associates feelings with colors we will be referencing throughout the year, and we will be adding more vocabulary throughout the year!
Making sure your little learner can follow hygienic bathroom etiquette independently!
We have a bathroom inside our classroom! Students will be learning the procedure to communicate their need to use the restroom during the first days of school. Thank you in advance for ensuring your student knows how to keep the bathroom clean!
Making sure your little learner refreshes their counting and addition skills!
Number Blocks have a fantastic library of video resources that can help your child to visualize the process behind addition, as well as other skills as we progress through the year.
