All About Preschool
Letter of the Week: A
Last week was short but good week. We have been focusing on classroom routines and rules. We will continue to explore preschool next week and develop classroom rules together. Some stories we will read include: Super Friends and Being a Friend. We will review these stories again and use them to help us develop classroom rules together.
This week the children will continue to learn about what happens in a preschool classroom. In the book, Yellowbelly and Plum Go to School, children are introduced to the activities that happen in a Yellowbelly's classroom, such as painting, blocks, and singing songs. The two characters learn about classroom rules and jobs, such as those pertaining to clean up. Additionally, they learn the names of classmates and begin to learn the names of letters, numbers, and days of the week.
Learning Together
- Ask your child to tell you the names of some of the children in her or her class. Each day, ask your child to name on child he or she played with.
- Talk about your name and your child's name. Help your child identify the first letter of each name. Look through books or magazines and see how many examples of those letters you can find.
- Take a walk with your child and count the number of people, cars, buses, trees, and other things you see.
- Talk about the rules you have in your home. Have your child help clean up after playing with toys or having a snack.
- After school each day, talk with your child about what he or she did during the day. Begin by sharing what you did during the day and then pose questions designed to elicit more than "yes or no" answers. For example, ask: What songs did you sing today? What new things did you learn? Which activity was the most fun for you today? Why? What stories did your teacher read aloud? What have your brought home from school to share?
