This week our friends worked on identifying numbers and matching sets of numbers. The children played many different interactive games, such as, number line jumping, where the children had to identify a number and then jump to it. The children also played a bean bag toss game, where they had to identify a number on a bean bag, then find the corresponding number. This week our friends have been discussing different ways we can play with our classmates. We discussed the different ways that they can share and play. In our classroom we took picture of our friends "in action". There is a picture of friends playing with different materials in the same space, a picture of friends trading materials, and a picture of friends playing with the same material. The children have been doing a great job referencing those images during work time.
This past week I have been noticing that many of the children have been interested in building and creating towers with many different materials. So this coming week the children are going to be learning about building and construction. Through out the week the children will be able to building with different materials, as well as, learn about the different tools builders use.
Please keep sending in family photos and the technology permission forms. As always, please email me with any questions. Have a wonderful Sunday :)

Message from Speech Therapists
Give Me 10 Time
This
week in speech therapy we are reading The Little Blue Truck. It is a fun
rhyming book with lots of farm animals. Rhyming books often create a nice
rhythm. Using music and rhythm can be an important tool for children with
delayed language. Through rhythm and rhyme, children can learn a slower
and more rhythmic rate of speech that can support more intelligible
communication. So this week, turn on the music and spend some time
marching and clapping to the beat. To extend play with the book more,
here are some animal pictures. Model the actions as well as the animal
sounds. See if your child will imitate. Can you and your child make
up actions for other animals?
Chop like an alligator

Shiver like a polar bear

Hop like a bunny

Pounce like a cat

Peck like a chicken

Chew like a cow
