Hey PreKPals and Families-
Thank you so very much for the generous gift card for my birthday! I appreciate each of you! Your children are the very best gift and Mrs. Dunn and I love coming to school every day to be with them! This year, especially, I am so thankful that I am still able to do that. Thank you again for thinking of me on my birthday!
In literacy this week, we will work on identifying and making the letter sounds for Nn and Xx. In our Heggerty Phonemic Awareness program for PreK, we are learning the Nursery Rhyme – Humpty Dumpty. We will send a copy home for you to enjoy with your child.
In math, we will still be working on solid shapes and continuing to count with one-to-one correspondence.
The lunch menu for this week is on Dojo.

PreK Jacket flip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73qom9IueV8
PLEASE send jackets that button or zip to school. NOT over the head sweatshirts (Unless your child can take it off and put it on INDEPENDENTLY! It takes a LOT of time for 2 teachers to get 18 wiggly students in and out and in and out of sweatshirts.) The PreK Jacket Flip only works with jackets that are open front.

A great resource for letters and sounds is the Letter Factory by Leap Pad. You can find them all on YouTube or in DVD’s. All of the Leap Pad videos are great and the songs stick in your head! Here’s a link for you to use at home.
