August - September 2011

Language Arts: We will be learning the names of our kindergarten friends and starting to recognize how they are written. We will learn how to write our name, (using correct letter formation) and name each of the letters. We will be meeting all the letter people that we will be working with in kindergarten before starting to work on the letters M and T. When learning about a letter, we learn it’s name, sound, correct formation for writing, and words that start with that letter and sound.

Math: We will be setting up our meeting time in math. This includes the calendar and related items, counting and patterning. You will see papers coming home indicating that we are learning to write our numbers. Let us show you what we have learned. We will also be working with our colors. Don’t forget to bring something and wear the special color of the day!!

Discovery: Themes explored this month: 1) Getting to Know our New Friends 2) Making our School a Safe Learning Environment 3) Apples and My Senses 4) All About Me
