Our class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 until 2:15.
Just a reminder that snack should be in a separate bag placed in your child's lunch box, along with their lunch food, including a drink for both.
If your child has food allergies, please bring in a bag with a few special safe treats for them to eat if we should have a birthday celebration. Thank you so much for your help with this.

The children will be introduced to the letter Hh this week. We will work on identification, formation, and the sound of the letter Gg. We will use resources like the Singing Walrus, ABC Mouse, and Captain Sea Salt to help us learn more about the letter Hh.

In math we will finish up our unit 2 on 2D shapes and the numerals 1-5. We will also start unit 3 on sorting, starting with sorting by color.
In Religion we will continue with God's gifts and talk about the gift of plants and earth and discuss how we have a responsibility to care for God's gifts. The children will also be introduced to the formal prayer the Our Father, starting this week.
Important Information:
Students should bring their lunch box and folder to each class. Students should bring snack and lunch as well as drinks for both. Please label the snack so that we know what they should have at that time. Thank you for your help with this.
OUR DAILY MORNING PRAYER
Thank you God for this day
In my school to work and play.
Please be with me all day long
In every story, game and song.
May all the happy things we do
Make you, Our Father, happy too.
Amen.
Pre-K this year:

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.

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.
