Building Blocks Preschool

Letter "Oo" was the letter of the week.  We learned a lot of words that start with the letter O.  See if your preschooler can tell you a word.  One of the words should be "octopus".  I held up large capital letters and had the children identify the letter, the sound and what word starts with that particular letter.  The classes did great!

This month we are learning the Months of  the Year.  The meaning of the word Opposites was introduced.  We had work sheets that helped them understand better the opposites (up-down; hard, soft; day,night; hot, cold etc. )  We made O necklaces and the kids loved it!  We read a story about a boy who wanted an Octopus for a pet because his little brother has allergies.  The children enjoyed the book.  We also made bubble gum (game) learned a new color (fushia) and went through our numbers (6), writing our names, and received a reading book with the new word "come".   The 4-5 classes are doing great!  Thank you Moms for your empowering your child. Their sight words are coming along.  I love to hear them read all together - it really strengthens each other as they read.
