PK4 Newsletter- Week 6

What a Fun Week Learning About Families! 🏠🐾

This week was all about celebrating our families! We read wonderful stories like The Family Book, Saturday, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too?. Through movement games like 4 Corners and "Stand Up, Sit Down," we explored how families are similar and different, while practicing our graphing skills.

We also talked about household jobs (singing and acting them out to "This is the Way..."), reflected on how pets are part of our families, and put on our thinking caps to help Goldilocks make better choices!

Questions to ask at home this week:

• "If Goldilocks visited our house, what advice would you give her about making good choices?"

• "What is a job you do to help our family at home?"

• "What do you think makes an animal a pet instead of a wild animal?"

We will begin exploring Measurement! Students will practice measuring objects around the classroom using non-standard units (like cubes, paperclips, and markers). We will also revisit shapes.

ELAR Focus for Next Week:

We are diving into Friendship! Through interactive read-alouds, we will explore what makes a good friend, how to show kindness, and ways we can be friendly to everyone in our school community.
