Your kids are growing so quickly!  What a blessing it is to see them engaged and learning! Monday-we learned about the letter C, read our C book and If You Give a Cat a Cupcake .  We made leprechaun hats for our Read and Romp banner and learned about opposites with our  stuffed cat. We also worked on letter formation with dry erase boards so we can erase and try  over and over again. Wednesday-we traced our heart sheet, practiced writing our names,  had a cookie shop where we served pretend cookies and cinnamon rolls to learn  about our hard c and soft c letter sounds, and practiced our numbers with paint and our fingers. Have a wonderful weekend! Initially our sheet says we will review the letters from this month but since the children know them so well,  we will review previous letters taught before January. We will review the letters E(Monday), F(Wednesday) and G(Friday). Should be fun to find your letter for  show and tell based on your day. ;)
