Home Connection: Please read daily with your child . Ask your child about what he/she liked about the story

you read together. Ask your child to show you the front cover, back cover and title page in a book. Please make sure to send a family picture as well (preferably printed) to add it to our “family love” wall that we will be creating in class. Thank you for all your support and hard work with the children :)

Literacy Inquiry:

We are reading great books: “Rainbow Fish,” “ Fifi Ferret’s flute” and “The foot book by Dr.Suess”.

We are identifying what we mean by “The characters” and “the setting” in a story, and continuing

to review what is a front cover page, back cover page and title page.

We are discussing how illustrations help in predicting the story, through activities like : picture

walks and using the title page and front cover of a book to predict the story.

- Activities include: Creating our own Rainbow fish, exploring with the formation of the letter F and

different literacy centers.
