Dear parents,
In our handwriting program we learned two letters this week, U and C!
We built them with wood pieces, practiced writing them on our big board and on our slates, and traced them in the air. We practiced making magic C and circles. We noticed that letter U starts at the top and comes back to the top. Letter C doesn't start at the smiley face at the top but rather on the opposite side. Please take the time to review these letters with your child as we are starting to learn the letters with big curves that start with magic C (G O Q...). It is important that your child start at the top right for these letters as it will help them with lowercase letters as well later on (a o q g...).
Our theme this week was snow. We painted with fluffy shaving cream and glue to decorate our winter bulletin board and made winter shapes prints. We also read The Snowy Day by Ezra Keats and discussed what we wear when it is cold outside!
In our library hour we got to choose a book from The Chai Center library. Please make sure you return the book your child got last week so we can keep on sending Jewish books for your child to enjoy!
As part of our social skills curriculum, we place an extra emphasis on making our friends happy. It helps us a lot to remember that when we want a toy from our friends or when we hurt them or their feelings. Please remind your child that we want our friends to be happy so we share with them and use kind words.
Shabbat Shalom Morah Chaya & Arielle
