Dear Parents,

This week we will continue learning about color pink. We will be working on color pink activities.The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are: pig, flamingo, cotton candy, rose, lips
If you have any items at home that are color pink, send them over with your child and we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we will return them back on Tuesday. The kids get excited to bring things from home. Thanks a lot for your involvement.

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

We will continue with our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “This Little Piggy”

 I am attaching you the link of the video of this song we will be learning throughout the week. We will learn two versions of this nursery rhyme. One will be using our hand and the other will be using our toes. Just perfect to also review our Science Theme!

Some of the vocabulary words we will be learning this week are: head, mouth, eyes, ears, nose, feet, and hands.If you have any poster or any other material that you are willing to share with the class, we would appreciate if you will let us borrow them from you.
