Preschool Days

Our Next Unit is.....

We've just completed our unit on "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?"  Please continue to talk "colors" with your boys!  Over the next two weeks, we will be talking about the farm and farm animals.  Our story is, The Big Red Barn, by Margaret Brown.  During this unit, we will focus on farm animal names, the sounds they make, attributes of the animals, counting, and positional concepts. 

As always, try to give your boys an opportunity to show off what they're learning!  Read related books and sing animal songs.  Also, remember to loop back to previous unit studies and review the vocabulary.  Be sure to give them plenty of opportunities to "get it right".  Model the correct response to your questions and keep it positive! 

Have another great week!  I know we will!

Brown Bear

Parents~

Over the next two weeks we will be reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See? by Bill Martin Jr.  In this book, a series of animals are asked "what do you see?" A final animal sees a group of children and their teacher.  This story introduces many color words in a very repetitive and predictable pattern.  The children will be exposed to color names, animal names, and will be asked to answer questions related to the story using words, signs, and/or pictures.

We will also be doing many craft and cooking activities related to the book.  So, if a "blue horse" comes home, know that it's part of the story and not a mistake!

Lastly, I just wanted to say again that your son(s) are doing amazing things each and every day.  We are so thrilled with the progress that they've made - in such a short amount of time - it's truely AMAZING! 

You should be VERY proud!

Have a great week!
