This week at school, our theme was Teddy Bear!! The children practiced sitting and listening to a story, experienced reading materials with interest and enjoyment, engaged in active listening and learned how to draw meaning from pictures, print and text. We also began learning about letter of the alphabet. We played game with the letter B. We practice the sound that it makes as well as learning how to notice the upper and lower case Bb.

Next week the children will begin some regular home work with a reading log. Look for information to come!!
