Happy Valentines everyone! It was a great week for the children at preschool. My little 4 year old Addison said over and over that "this was the funnest day of her whole life". I must say the children went home with enough candy for the whole family to devour and I hope that's what you all did. I especially loved the creativity that you and your child came up with, with their valentine cards. In the 4-5 year old classes this was the first year that a lot of the children read their classmates names they had written on their valentine cards. It was amazing to watch and feel a part of. Thank you so much for all you do for your children.
Letter "Rr" was the letter we wrote this week. Each child wrote the letter R with ease. Just a note - when you watch your child practice writing at home make sure he/she always starts from the top down on any given letter. A 2nd grade teacher once said that it will help them write faster when they learn to do it correctly.
We are going over the sounds; identifying the letters; telling words that start with that letter; have learned 13 shapes; months of the year; days of the week; and this coming week we will be learning about rhyming words. In regards to numbers the teens are hard for some of the children. If you have a chance at home the children know how to count but they are having a hard time recognizing numbers when I show the number to them. Write the numbers down on a piece of paper - mix the numbers up and see if your child can tell you what the number is.
A note about my husband - we met with the cardiologist. His heart is fine. He believes that my husband suffered a stroke or a seizure. We will need to go sometime in the next two weeks to the Idaho Falls Hosp. where they will give him an MRI and a electrode test to determine what caused his heart to go to afib. We asked the Dr. to please schedule the tests together, so as not to miss teaching. My husband is doing fine. I thank you so much for all your prayers, encouragement and support.
