Happy Tuesday!

Dear Friends and Family,

I hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing long weekend! Today has been a terrific Tuesday! We have had a full day of learning and I am sure your little ones will be exhausted by the end of the day! Today we started the Language for Learning program and it went really well. As a whole-class, the students follow simple instructions in which they do the following: listen and repeat actions, learn different information about their school, practice saying their full names and practice with object identification. The content of Language for Learning provides a basis for reading comprehension. After the oral lesson, the children go back to their seats and work on the workbook page that follows each lesson.

Today, we also reviewed the letters that we have learned up to this point: Aa, Bb, and Cc. Our new letter of the week is the letter Dd. We discussed the soft and hard sounds for the letter Dd and created a class-chart of words that begin with the letter Dd. I am sure they will share their dinosaur sheet with you! The children have done such a great job with each letter! I truly am impressed with how much knowledge their developing minds have at such young ages!

Thank you for visiting our blog! We hope you have enjoyed hearing about our wonderful day!
Mrs. Dinwiddie and Ms. Courtney
