⭐️Theme for the Month: Unit 2: The Five Senses⭐️

How do our senses help us explore, investigate and understand the world around us?

Family Engagement Activities

Please remember to return your child's completed ASQ3 Questionaire's this week.

Each week we will focus on one of the five senses.

Week one: Sight
Week two: Hearing 
Week three: Taste and Smell 
Week four: This week will be learning about our sense of touch  

Please discuss these senses with your child. In class we are learning the name of each sense and how they are used. You can support your child's understanding by making connections in the home and asking questions.

Questions that you can discuss with your child this month:

How do we use our sense of sight?
How do we use our sense of hearing?
How do we use our sense of taste?
How do we use our sense of smell?
How do we use our sense of touch?

It is also important to practice writing their first names and identifying the letters in their name.

Letter of the week: Please practice writing letter S at home with your child.

Math/Building Blocks: This week we will be exploring geometry (shapes). Ask your child to draw a picture of a circular object in your home. Then ask your child what he or she drew.
