September 3-5

We’re glad to be back at school. We’ve planned many fun activities for the children. In Social Studies we will begin to learn about Community Helpers. We will read Vicky the Vet and Animal Hospital, and the children will take turns playing in the Animal Hospital Center in the new Centers Room. In Science we will read, “What is Zoology” from Exploring Creation and begin to learn about birds. The children will watch for birds with little binoculars and create bird gliders to experiment with on the playground. In Phonics/Language the children will practice narration with Pinocchio. We will practice writing and tracing the letter “a” and sorting objects that begin with a and b into letter tubs. In Bible we will read What is Love as we begin to learn about the Fruit of the Spirit. We will also read, “Jesus Loves the Children” from The Bible in Pictures. In Music the children will play a game and pretend to be little birds flying through a window. They will also practice clapping rhythms as we listen to “Fly Through My Window” by Pete Seeger. Please be sure to send a snack each day for snack time. Place it in your child’s basket in the hall. Also, please send a complete change of clothing, including socks. These may be kept in your child’s backpack.
