Dear Parents,                                         

This week we will be learning about color yellow. We will be working on color yellow activities. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are: lemon, banana, chick, school bus, and sun.

If you have any items at home that are color yellow, 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 ¨Yellow dress up day¨ Please have your child wear a yellow piece of clothing.

Also, on this day, please pack a yellow snack in their lunch box. Your child needs to learn the name of the snack that he /she will bring.  Thanks a lot for your involvement.

Some of the stories we will be reading are:

In our Social Studies unit we will be talking about MY FAMILY. We will begin with this unit this week. Some of the vocabulary words we will be learning this week are: mother, father, brother, sister, baby. We are requesting a family picture for WEDNESDAY. We will be keeping the picture for the following two weeks and returning it to you on Friday, September 01st. We will be discussing how families are alike and different. Each student will have the chance to talk to us about things they do together as a family. We will be discussing why families are important and why do we love our families.
