Week of Jan. 18-22

Dear Parents,

This week we will begin working and learning about the triangle. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are: pizza, pine tree, cone, pyramid.

If you have any items at home that are with the shape of a triangle, 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, Jan. 22. The kids get excited to bring things from home.

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

In Social Studies we will continue the unit about Community Helpers. We are going to be discussing the different types of occupations. Children will get the chance to name them and know where each of these people can be found such as hospitals, fire station, police station. They will also be learning what tools these people need for their occupation. Some of the vocabulary words we will be focusing are: chef, doctor, vet, policeman, fireman, nurse, teacher, bus driver, farmer. If you have any books or posters, ideas or any other material that you would like to share with us it would be greatly appreciated.

Last Friday, the children took the Report Cards home. Please make sure you sign the envelope and send it back to us as soon as possible.
