Dear Families,

We enjoyed the first week of our Dr. Seuss unit. 


We can't wait to read some new Dr. Seuss books this week!  Here are the books we'll be reading at story time...
                                        
                                               

Small Groups

Small groups this week will work on skills including; rote counting, one to one correspondence, sorting pictures by category, fine motor strength and stability, size vocabulary, letter recognition, hand-eye coordination, and shape identification. 
  • Sorting pictures to make a "Where do my feet take me" book
  • Counting and practicing one to one correspondence by matching Things
  • Sorting big, medium, and small Dr. Seuss characters
  • Matching animals to their shadows to make a zoo
  • Identifying letters of our name with dot markers
  • Counting and practicing one to one correspondence by making apples with dot markers

Reminder:
Picture Day is March 9th.  The Barnyard Buddies will be having their pictures taken at 12:00.  We will eat morning snack later than usual so that we can save lunch for after our pictures are taken.  We will have non-messy activities to play with for the day, but if you are concerned that your child may get messy before the picture, then you can send the child to school in regular clothes and we can change them into their picture clothes closer to our designated time.  If this is something you would like to do, please e-mail me conroy@burlington.mec.edu or put a note in the child's backpack so we know that you would like them in a different outfit for their picture.
