About this Week:
This week we will talk about Halloween. We will focus on the book “Go away big Green Monster”. This book works on describing body parts and building a monster one piece at a time. In the classroom we will also be making a monster with two big eyes, long green nose, sharp white teeth, two squiggly ears, purple hair and big scary green face. This is a great sequencing activity and also works on colors and body parts.

Letter of the week
Each week we will focus on one letter in the alphabet. We will be looking at the letter and passing around objects that start with the letter. We will also practice tracing the letter of the week and do several activities related to the letter and the letter sound. For example for the letter “A”, we will look at and pass around an acorn, alligator, anchor, ant, apple, apron. We will look for the letter A in the alphabet and practice making the letter “A” sound. We also sing the alphabet song daily to work on saying all the letters and even identifying them on the board.
