This week we are going to continue working with the alphabet.
We will be working on recognizing the letters with their sound. We will be
reviewing letters A-D and working on ABC’s Phonics songs.
In our Science unit we will be learning about Dinosaurs. We are going to be discussing
the different types of dinosaurs. Children will get the chance to name them and
identify different kinds of dinosaurs. 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. Our idea is to turn our classroom into a Dinosaur habitat, so your help by bringing anything you have about dinosaurs would be very helpful.
Some of the books we are going to be reading this week
are the following:
Doris is a beaver who doesn’t know how
to draw like her classmates. When it’s time to draw a dinosaur, she draws a big
blue swirl. Doris is discouraged until
the class visits the art museum and she sees the modern art display, featuring
works of art just like hers.
This book is part of the Yoko & Friends School Days series, which I adore. Rosemary Wells knows how to write simple but wonderful stories that kids can relate to!

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!

How Do Dinosaurs Love Their Dogs? by Jane Yolen
I have loved every book in the “How Do Dinosaurs” series, written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by the amazing Mark Teague. Each book starts with a dinosaur doing all the wrong things, whether that’s throwing a tantrum at bedtime (in How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?) or never taking his dog outside. Each book ends with all the right things that dinosaurs do. Of course these are all lessons for small children, taught in an entertaining and endearing way.

Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “Old
Lady Lived in a Shoe”
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 math, will continue working with numbers. We will
work on how to represent and recognize numbers using tally marks, ten frames,
name of the number, one-to-one correspondence.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON MAY 12-
