going to continue working with the alphabet. We will be working on recognizing
the letters with their sound. The letter for this week we will be the
letter Dd. The vocabulary for this letter is: dog, duck,
doughnut, dress, drum, dinosaur
The following link has the
vocabulary of the letter d for you to practice at home.

If you have any items
at home that begin with this letter, 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.
Some of the books we
are going to be reading this week are the following:
Goldilocks and the
Three Dinosaurs, by Mo Willems This is another fun book from the
creator of the Pigeon series and the Elephant and Piggy books. Not only
do kids love this one, but you’ll appreciate all the little jokes thrown
in. When the dinosaurs set a trap of three giant bowls of chocolate
pudding, “a poorly supervised little girl named Goldilocks came
along.” Goldilocks is clueless that she has just fallen into a trap
until she hears the dinosaurs talking about their catch. “Goldilocks took
a minute to stop and think, which was longer than she was used to stopping and
thinking.”
Funny!
There’s no Such
Things as a Dragon, by Jack Kent
If you say there’s no
such thing, does that mean that thing will disappear? Not in this
book. Billy’s mother is sure “there is no such thing as a dragon,” even
when it eats all the pancakes and grows so big the house comes off its
foundation. As it turns out, the dragon just wants to be noticed.
This is a favorite from my childhood, and my own kids love it too.
The Grouchy Ladybug,
also known as The Bad-Tempered Ladybird, is a 1977 children's book written by Eric Carle Published by Greenwillow Books., best known as the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children."
Nursery Rhyme:

be discussing the different types of insects. Children will get the chance to
name them and identify different kinds of insects. Some of the vocabulary words
we will be focusing are: bee, ant, mosquito, spider, butterfly,
caterpillar, ladybug, grasshopper, dragonfly, fly. If you have any
books or posters, ideas or any other material that you would like to share with
