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 learning all about turkeys!  Ask your child if they’re a hen or a tom!

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: gummy bears, chocolate chips, marshmallows
  • Assorted crackers and cereals: pretzels, Goldfish, Cheerios, Rice Chex etc.
