Hello Parents~
Here is what we are up to in 3K...
Letter U
We are on the letter U in our introduction of the alphabet. We'll be painting umbrellas this week.
Spatial Concepts
We are also working on understanding vocabulary associated with spatial concepts such as: in between, under, next to, beside, above, below, etc.
Upper Case Letters
Most of our 3K children are at an age where recognizing the upper case letters is enjoyable when done in a fun way. We will be working on this and you may wish to do so at home as well. I believe there are some great apps for ipads, etc. that make tracing letters fun too in case that interests you.
Writing Names
We will especially emphasize the letters in our names on an individual basis. During center times, I will be working with your children to identify the letters in their names as well as writing them (first letter in upper case and the remaining letters in lower case). We will work on writing the letters in fun, motivating ways...writing in rice, sand, on the whiteboard, on our new magna doodle boards, on our backs, tracing letters, etc.
