This Week:
On Monday, we learned about letter Qq with Quilla Queen. We practiced different ways to make lowercase letter Q and made Queen puppets. We also celebrated Jack's 5th birthday at the end of the day!
On Wednesday, we learned about number 11. We learned how to spell the word, write the number, and we discussed which numbers come before and after 11. I also introduced the value of different coins. We focused on learning that one quarter equals twenty five pennies and one dime and one penny equal eleven cents. We then had a lot of fun making quarter rubbings on the letter Q.
On Friday, we reviewed letter Q and the sound that it makes. We named many different letter Q words while we read " Looking for Letter Q" and we circled all of the Q's we could find. As expected, many children started to circle lowercase P in stead of lowercase Q. This is a common difficulty as well as mixing up lowercase B and D. We will be working on this throughout the year. In preparation for our St. Patrick's Day Celebration we learned a fun Leprechaun song and we all helped paint a large rainbow for our class board in the hallway.
Next Week:
We will be learning about letter Rr, rainbows, and number 12. During the week we will be making different St. Patrick's day crafts. Thursday we do have a half day so the children will be dismissed at 11:30AM. On Friday, please send your child to school wearing green for our celebration!
