MARCH UPDATE!

We will continue to discuss Community Helpers this month and will also add “Transportation / Les Moyens de Transport” as a focus for our French vocabulary.

We will be exploring such concepts as movement and travel. Included is a focus on classification (land, water, and air). By using classroom manipulatives, we will sort and compare vehicles according to, for example, shape and function.

 

Language activities for JK's will continue to focus on letter sound & symbol association and making personal connections to stories, while SK activities will include a focus on reading comprehension and questioning. Please also encourage your child’s emergent writing skills by helping them use complete sentences (with a capital at the beginning, spaces between words, and period at the end), and practice high-frequency words.

Math concepts include reviewing shapes, including three-dimensional figures (sphere, cylinder, cube, pyramid, cone, and rectangular prism).  Counting, numeral formation, identification and measurement will be reviewed.  Then mass will be introduced and in Science, we will explore float and sink concepts.

Theme-related FRENCH vocabulary includes:
police officer/ policier           nurse /infirmière            teacher/ enseignant(e)
mail carrier/ facteur              firefighter/ pompier         doctor/medecin
