Weekly News 9/25/11



What a great week we had in Kindergarten! This week was our Apple Week. Thank you to all the parent volunteers that helped us to have a successful learning day with an apple theme.
This week we learned the letters 'a' and 'c'. We continue to focus on two letters at a time working on the way we write them and the sounds that they make. 'A' is our first vowel sound that we have learned and in Kindergarten we will focus on the short vowel sounds, rather than the long vowel sounds. We also begin to focus on words that begin with the letter sounds that we learn and write some in our journals.
We focused a lot on learning patterns this week. The main focus was AB patterns, but we also touched upon ABB patterns as well as ABC patterns.
We will continue to learn our color words as well as our five senses in the coming week. Have a great week!
