"...Now I know my A, B, C's, next time won't you sing with me." This week we are concentrating on our ABCs. We are singing the songs, listening for the sounds each letter makes, naming each letter, seeing what letters are in our name and our friends' names.
The KDIs we are focusing on this week are-
Phonological awareness: Children identify distinct sounds in spoken language.- Trying to pinpoint what sound do we hear at the beginning of a word.
Alphabetic knowledge: Children identify letter names and their sounds- We are practicing by trying to figure out what item starts with what letter, and just looking at letters, big and small.
Writing: Children write for many different purposes.- We practice writing everyday, it may not look like much yet, but we will get there.
Jesus Time- This week we are learning about how Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt. God was with them the whole time as they crossed the Red Sea on dry land, as He provided manna and quail for them to eat in the wilderness. God protected and took care of them and He protects and cares for us also- all the time!!
Books of the week- "Alphabet Magic" by Chuck Murphy, "A Was Once an Apple Pie" by Edward Lear, "Astonishing Animal ABC" by Charles Fuge.
Regarding the zoo field trip, parking also needs to be paid ahead of time. The cost is $6/vehicle. It should be a great trip. I was also wondering if Zoey (whose snack day is that day) and Molly (who is missing her snack day this week) would be willing to bring us a small snack and a drink that we could meet at a certain time at a specific place at the zoo? We can talk more about that next week.
Please keep our 3rd and 4th grade teacher, Jan Murphy, in your prayers. She is hospitalized with pneumonia.
Have a fantastic week! See you Thursday or Friday for our little conferences!
Mrs. Schneck
