Letter A was lots of fun to start the letter

journey with! The children loved singing and dancing

to Apple Annie and learning all about apples.

On Thursday, we rewarded all the children with

a prize from the prize box. This week we will give

bananas for following the rules. Once a child has

earned 5 bananas, he or she will earn another prize.

The original idea of 10 bananas was too many— the

class behaves wonderfully so far!

This week we will learn about letter R— the

song is not as catchy as Apple Annie! We will tie in

the story of Joseph’s Colorful Coat by talking about

the rainbow of colors.

On Thursday, we will accomplish two things:

first, introducing the Kindness Curriculum by

teaching the children about their Golden Hearts.

Every time they help others, their heart will be-

come shinier and shinier. Each month we will do a

service project related to a story to reinforce the

Kindness Curriculum. The second accomplishment is

our initial assessment of the skills and knowledge

the children currently possess. This will help me

learn what areas I need to concentrate on with

each child. You will receive a copy by October 1st.

Letter R Song:(Beautiful Dreamer)

Rowdy the Rascal was a rodeo rat,Ripping and racing in his ten gallon hat.Riding and roping on his ragged old cat. Rowdy the Rascal, the rodeo Rat.Rosie O’Riley, all dressed up in red came to his rescue or he would be dead.Rowdy was ready to eat some bad feed ‘cause Rowdy the rodeo rat couldn’t read.And the moral to this story :”If you want to read, you have to practice to succeed. And you’ll be reading the rest of your days.Rowdy the rascal, you’ll be making straight A’s!

The legs of the robot move back

and forth…

The head of the robot turns side

to side…

The buttons on the robot blink on

and off…

The voice of the robot says beep,

beep, beep...
