This week we learned each other’s name with the help of ChickaChicka Boom Boom! We were

introduced to our first two rainbow words – me and my. We also

learned how to draw a person using mat man, which are

foundational writing skills through our program “Handwriting Without Tears.” We made a coconut book that matched numbers to object 1-5. We made two class books

about who is in our room and one that shares what we are good at.

We sorted items by color, item, and size. We loved beginning our

group time when we work as a team and rotate through tasks!

Reminders:• Please check your child’s book bag

for their take home folder daily.• Please check your child’s lunch

account balance.
