Dear families,


We had a great second week of school!  We finished up our "All About Me" unit and created books about each child, so we can read them in our library area for the next few weeks. 

On Monday we'll be starting our Farm/Harvest unit.  This week we will learn what a garden is, what a farm is, and what kind of work needs to be done on a garden/farm. 


Here are the books we will be reading

                                               


Small groups

Making apple trees
                  matching number to quantity
                  OT- using pincer grasp to crinkle and glue tissue paper
Planting a garden
                  using common garden tools to create and tend to a plant
Sorting Apples
                  sorting red, green, and yellow apples by color
                  counting apple groups and recording most and least
Sequencing life cycle of a plant
                  learning plant related vocabulary
                  practicing the pre-literacy skill of organizing the sequence of a story

If you haven't done so already, please send in the packet you recieved prior to the start of school.  It contains important information that is needed by the secretary and school nurse.  Thank you.
