Word and Letter of the Week

This week we are focusing on the letter Aa and also the word "the." Today we listened to and practiced the "the" song. Here is how it goes:

t-h-e, t-h-e

I can spell the

t-h-e

t-h-e, t-h-e

I can spell the

t-h-e

  

We clapped, snapped, and tapped our knees during the parts where we spell out the word. We did some letter looking and practiced recognizing both upper and lowercase a's in a short poem.  

SPECIALS 

 Mr. Silverman the Music teacher with the AM class

Both classes have been practicing moving around the room in different ways/to different rhythms and beats and stopping when they hear 3 beats on the drum.

 

 

Mr. Gaffney the PE teacher with the PM class.

Both classes have been working on learning the Cha Cha Slide dance which includes lots of directional movements, stomping and hopping.

I didn't snap a picture of Mrs. Rodriguez, but she has read some great stories with us and has taught us about the importance of having clean hands when reading library books and keeping library books in a safe place at home. 

We will begin going to the library to check out books this week (PM) and next week (AM).
