The Week of May 31, 2023

We will continue reviewing our letter identification and sounds. 

In Math we are doing more work on patterns and reviewing our number recognition to 20.

In Literacy we will start our last story in our Happily Ever After Series called the ABC Book.  

In Religion we read the story of Noah's Arc and used our felt board to tell the story.  The children then colored a picture as a follow up.  This week we will read a story about Jesus living within each of us and how when we are kind to others, we are more like Jesus.

In Science class we had exciting news;  our butterflies arrived!  The children were so excited to see they had finally come out of their Chrysalis.  On Wednesday we released them.  It was "bitter sweet" for all.   (SEE PICTURES BELOW)

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, recognizing and writing numerals, and introduced to simple addition and subtraction. 

-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, fire safety, polar animals, dental health, friendship,  caterpillars/butterflies, rainbows, ladybugs, plants, and many more topics.
