Calendar: I will work to get out February Calendars by the end of this week. Look for them in your child’s backpack. We will be having show and tell the first week in February- Wednesday and Thursday. I would like every child to bring their favorite book from home. We will have them summarize the book and why they like the book and I will have them available for the students to look at them during free play.
Home Challenge: Have you tried having your child read to you some simple books yet? Let them sound the words out and I think you will be surprised how well they can read. I recommend the “Red Books” at the Library. The series of books is called “Reading for All Learners” It starts with “I see Sam” and they approach reading in a simple step by step method. http://www.iseesam.com/ I just bought the first series and have started reading them with our 4-5 year old groups. If you child isn’t sounding out words yet I would recommend you just continue reading to them and having them point out letters to you or you asking them to find a word that begins with the letter… P for example.
