Colors and Shapes

This week we will be learning about colors and shapes. I really want to use this week to see who has their shapes and colors mastered and who is still learning.  Today we sang A Color Chorus, after they found one of the crayons they would go to the side so everyone could have a chance. 

Every month we have a Nursery Rhyme that we say together during Circle Time. By the end of the month most of the kiddos have it memorized. One of the first steps to learning how to read is memorization. This year we are going to add something to our Nursery Rhyme study... sometime toward the end of the month your child will be bringing home a book or a printout with our Nursery Rhyme on it. Today, we colored a book and I told them their "homework" was to "read" it to mom, dad, Grandpa or Grandma. Please take a moment to look over their book with them. If they can have them "read" it to you, and if not read it together. Hold on to these and by the end of the year most of the kiddos will have at least 10 things they can "read".
