FAMILY+WIKI+PAGE

This is my family information page for the families of the children in my classroom this year. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

This week we will be studying all about ABC's. We will spend some time each morning looking at, saying, and tracing each letter of the alphabet. We will spend some time reading from several different books about the alphabet. And, we will be spending some time on a art project relating to the alphabet letters. If you would like to reinforce these lessons at home, I recommend reading some books together in the evening. Some book titles are: Animal Alphabet by Bert Kitchen, Peter Rabbit's ABC by Beatrix Potter, The Cowboy ABC by Chris Demarest, and The Butterfly Alphabet by Kjell B. Sandved.

This lesson of ABC's will lead into a fieldtrip to the local library. We welcome parent volunteers to assist with the trip. We will look at the books and a library staff will entertain us with a couple of storybook readings.

Part of our lesson on the alphabet will also incorporate a lesson on diversity as we will be teaching the first few letters in several different languages.

Then rounding out this lesson plan for the week, we will be making alphabet soup with the children, ending in a meal for everyone to share and enjoy.
