PreK4 eNews

What a great week! We enjoyed reading many Dr. Seuss books, what a terrific way to reinforce rhyming words. Wacky Wednesday was a highlight of our week! The children and teachers liked dressing “wacky”! We also tasted green eggs and ham. Ask your child if he/she liked these!

Next week, we will review the letters and letter/sounds we have learned. Look for opportunities to reinforce these important pre-reading skills at home! Ask your child what sound he/she hears at the beginning of family members’ names, or what sound is heard at the end of Sonic or Wal Mart, or possibly what letters/sounds make the small words “up” and “pig”. All the children are making progress and we are proud of their hard work!
