Week of 19-23 January

Happy Birthday to Colin this week (20 January)! He's turning 3!

Our learning topics for this week include:

Color words. This is not color recognition. The children are learning to read their colors as sight words. We are learning to read red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

Word Families for "at". (Hat, Cat, Sat, Rat, Mat, Bat). We have a book using these word families and our sight words from previous weeks which the children will read and color.

Spanish Language- House-casa, table-mesa, chair-silla, door-puerta, bathroom-bano (with ~ over the n, but I can't figure that out...Ha!)

Math- The children did a great job counting by 10's to 100 in previous weeks. I am sure all of you are tired of hearing the count by 10's to 100 song, so we are moving on. Using the School House Rock songs we will start working on counting by 5's to 100.

Sight words (we will use the same sight words for the this week and next)- see, look, no (Derek has this one down..), do, you, have, what

I have posted new slideshows of the children and will be updating some pictures on the side of this webpage over naptime this week.

As always please feel free to email me at daycarehelp@comcast.net if you have any questions.
