Things we did last week: 
Letters

Handwriting
The Letter I – Big line down, jump up, little line at the top, little line at the bottom.   
We have learned these letters in handwriting so far:  L, F, E, H, I, and T.
Math
We did lots of work with the number 3 – anytime you notice something in a group of three, be sure to talk about it with your kiddo!
Science
Last week we had tons of fun with color mixing.  We learned about primary colors and secondary colors.  Check out some pics of it on our Facebook page!  
Story Time
While reading stories, we are working on concepts of print.  Ask your child which part of the book is the front cover, the back cover, and the title page. 
Friendship Snack 
Next week to celebrate Thanksgiving, we will be talking a lot about friendship.  On Tuesday, we're going to make "Friendship Snack" bags.  I'm asking each kiddo to bring in something to contribute to our mix.  Ideas to donate (please remember to check the label for peanut free items!) : 
  • Assorted dried fruits: raisins, banana chips, dried apricot bits, dried cherries
  • Assorted mini-candies: M & Ms, gummy bears, chocolate chips, marshmallows
  • Assorted crackers and cereals: pretzels, Goldfish, Cheerios, Rice Chex etc.
