I want to thank all of you for your very thoughtful end of the year gifts.  Your kindness is very much appreciated.  Thank you also for sharing your beautiful children with me this year.  May you all have a wonderful summer and  I wish all the children a successful and fun year in Kindergarten!

Pre-K this year:
-This year we will be using the Literacy program, Happily Ever After.  The children will work on comprehension skills as they  listen to and follow along in big books, as well as in their own story booklets.   They will complete related activity pages, which teach new vocabualry, reinforce recognition of colors, shapes, and work on fine motor skills.
The children will also be introduced to a new letter of the week, working on letter recognition, formation, and letter sounds.  

-In Math this year the children will be counting, working on one to one correspondence, recognizing patterns, and sorting objects into categories.  They will be introduced to 2 and 3 dimensional shapes, measuring using length, weight, and capacity, and recognizing and writing numerals. 

-In Religion we will be using Sadlier's Discovering God's World, as well as reading and discussing Bible stories from our Children's Bible.   

-We will also be using the Scholastic Magazine, My Big World which has themed based lessons on seasons, holidays, our feelings, our senses, numbers, apples, pumpkins, fires safety, polar animals, caterpillars,and many more topics.
