Dear Parents,
This week wewill begin learning about color gray. We will be working on color black activities. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are: rock, mouse, elephant, koala, wolf, hippo, shark and moon.

If you have any items at home that are color gray, 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 Friday. The kids get excited to bring things from home.

On Friday the students will have ¨Gray dress day¨ Please have your child wear a brown piece of clothing. Thanks a lot for your involvement.

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

Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “One elephant went out to play”

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. Just a little tip to have fun at home listening and acting out our song.

In Science we will begin a unit about Food. We are going to be discussing healthy and unhealthy snacks. Children will get the chance to name food that is eaten during the breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some of the vocabulary words we will be focusing are: pancakes, juice, apple, banana, carrot, bread, sandwich, meat, milk, cereal and cheese. If you have any books or posters, or any other material that you would like to share with us it would be greatly appreciated.

Challenge at Home is a small activity assigned to do at home during the weekend with children. It could be a short story, a game, a song. Every Monday Morning we will discuss about this little challenge. The objective is to enjoy and to reinforce their learning and comprehension. We always appreciate your involvement with your children’s learning.

For this week, our first Challenge at Home will be watching a story called “But No Elephants” by Jerry Smath. Watch and discuss this story. I am attaching the link to watch and listen to the story. Make sure your child understands what the story is about. Have Fun!!
