Ll is for all our letters

We are hoping to have a normal week of school and finally finish our review of all the letters we've covered so far this year!

Table activities for the past three weeks are magnetic letters, letters in bubbles, matching foam letters, ABC activities, paint dot letters, letter coloring pages, hole punch letter match, catching magnetic letters with magnet wands, making pattern block and duplo letters and matching lettes with clothespins.

Small group activities are letter/sound match, painting the letter that begins our name, circling the letter and adding our letter to our journal.

KDIs for the week are-

 Alphabetic knowledge: Children identify letter names and their sounds.- We are working hard on this every day!

Phonological awareness: Children identify distinct sounds in spoken language. - which sounds are the same? 

Jesus Time- This week we hear about a man who couldn't walk. His friends heard about Jesus and the miracles that he could do and they heard the great news that Jesus was visiting their town. So they took their friend on a stretcher to see Jesus. The house that Jesus was teaching and preaching in was so crowded that they couldn't fit. They weren't about to give up. They carefully carried their friend up to the roof, once there, they moved some tiles and lowered their friend down, right in front of Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said,"Be happy, your sins are forgiven." When the leaders who were there grumbled about Jesus forgiving his sins, Jesus showed that he was God by telling him to rise up, take up his mat and go home. People were astonished, Jesus had healed a man who was paralyzed completely! 

Books of the week are "Animalia" by Graeme Base, "Eating the Alphabet" by Lois Ehlert and "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault. The last two weeks we read "R is for Robot: A Noisy Alphabet" by Adam F. Watkins, "alphabet adventure" by Audrey Wood and "Amazon Alphabet" by Martin and Tanis Jordan.

We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Wednesday, February 13th. I will send a list of names via email. We may have some cookies and punch, but most of the time will be spent passing out Valentines!

Have a wonderful week!
