WEEK OF NOVEMBER 5- 9

Dear Parents:

Thank you for coming to celebrate Book Character Day with us. The children had fun wearing their costumes. Thank you once again to Mrs. Dorelena  Silva and Mrs. Sandra Noguera for providing the Book Character Day snacks and drinks.

This week the students will continue to learn the letters and sounds of the alphabet. They will focus on the letter C, catina cat.  

In Math we will introduce the number 3.  You can practice counting and number recognition with your child in a fun and creative way. Just choose some of these activities to reinforce math concepts at home.

1. Count items around the house

Gather up items around your house such as buttons, pencils, paper clips, etc. Put them in stacks and count them with your child

2. Play Hopscotch

Use chalk and draw a hopscotch game outside. Make sure to say the numbers out loud as you play.

3. Play "Go Fish"

Play "Go Fish" with a deck of playing cards. You can take out the face cards to play. Kids love playing games. This one is a lot of fun and they will be learning at the same time.

4. Cook with your kids

Include your child when you cook. Have him count the cups of milk, the tablespoons of margarine, or the eggs when you cook. Show him the recipe as you cook so he can follow along

5. Read counting books

Check out counting books from the library. Read counting books to your child. Have him practice counting as you read the book.

6. Play a telephone game

Using a toy telephone and a telephone book, have your child call an order a pizza. Help him read the number and press the numbers on the phone. Let your child use his imagination.

7. Play board games

Play board games with your child like Monopoly. Let him be in charge of rolling the dice. Have him count the dots on the dice and then have him move the piece as he counts.

In science we will begin studying the human body and the five senses.
