This past week, we started a new incentive for behavior. Once your child has five total green days (does not need to be in a row), he/she will receive a small treat. Next month, we will start the incentive of receiving an even bigger prize for the whole month of green days, in addition to the every five green incentive.

This month, I will begin to test letter sound recognition. If your child masters or is close to mastering all letter sounds, I will begin pre-k sight words. I obtained a copy of the Dolch Sight Word list from Mrs. Linkel, our kindergarten teacher. The words on the list are words that are expected to be mastered by December of your child’s kindergarten year. If your child does not start the sight words, please do not be worried. It is still  developmentally appropriate for them to be mastering letter recognition and letter sound recognition at this point per Indiana Preschool Standards at this point and time :)

Focus of the Week:

• Literacy: Letter O

• Math: Adding Concept and 16
