Help Me Read! Your child was born to learn! From birth, your child is learning important language and literacy skills. He sees printed words and symbols all around him: on signs, in books, magazines and on many items in your home. You can help your child learn that the print tells us something. These skills will help your child to learn to read and write. *Read books to your child every day. Be willing to read his or her favorites over and over again. Talk about the pictures and how they connect with the story. Point to the words when you read, so your child knows the story is coming from the print. *Take a walk or drive and play a game. Try to find signs with words that you know (Ex. STOP, WALK, EXIT, or name of a place to eat) *Write your child’s name in different places at home so that he/she can begin to recognize it.
Splash Day
What’s Up ?!? The classroom opens at exactly 8:25 a.m. Pick up time is at 11:30 a.m. Bring them to school on time and pick them up on time. The longer they wait, the more anxious and more tired they get. THINGS TO BRING: Everyday: ~ Healthy snacks or fruits during snack time ~ two extra change of clothes (shirt, shorts/pants, underwear or diaper and socks) in their bag. Please do not let your child wear expensive accessories or bring toys as they often lose it during play time. Thank you!
