April Newsletter

Dear Parents,

This April, we will be learning about feelings. We want children to be able to express their feelings with words. We will be learning the vocabulary for common feelings like happy, sad, excited, angry, hungry, tired, etc., and we will role play different feelings.





Every Friday is "sharing day". Each student can bring something from to school to show and tell about to their friends. So, please remind your child bring something. It
can be a toy, a book, or anything else they want to show their friends.

Also, Fridays are "cooking days", so no lunch box.

Here are some of the books, songs, and language activities we will cover this month:

Books

Bark George, by Jules Feiffer

Monkey Puzzle, by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

Clippity-Clop, by Pamela Allen

Songs

The Ants Go Marching


Alphabet Song

Can You Point Your Fingers

Language

Phonics Alphabet

Letters P, F, and N: their sounds and words which start with them
