Hello Families!!  

This week we will be learning all about the different features of clothing- zippers, sizes, velcro, buttons, laces, snaps, buckles etc.  We will be comparing sizes, measuring our clothes/shoes, and recording our results.   

**Our class is in need of some items if you would like to donate.**  
Items needed:  Tissues, Lysol Wipes/Spray, Paper Towels, and Cups.

What You Can Do at Home  
Talk with your child about clothes.  Examine the fabrics together and discuss how the clothes were made.  Look at the labels to find out where the clothes were made and identify the fabric.  Look at pictures fromt eh past and note how the clothing differs from clothing today.  

Teach your child to stitch.  Use a large plastic needle and yarn; make stitches on burlap or felt.

When you shop for clothes, help your child notice how clothes are organized in the store and offer a simple explanation of how you compare prices.

At the end of our study, we'll have a special event to show you what we've learned.

Thanks for playing such an important role in your child's learning!


Suggested Activities:

• Continue to practice good bathroom habits- wiping, flushing, and handwashing (20 seconds)
• Practice dressing- using buttons, zippers, laces, velcro, putting on gloves, jackets, hats, socks and shoes.  
• Continue to practice writing names and letter recognition  

Reminders

*****If your child is sick, please keep them home.  We want to prevent the spread of colds and viruses within our class.  If your child has any of the following: fever, vomitting, diarrhea--Please keep them home so they can make a full recovery.  They have to be a full 24 hours free of these symptoms in order to return to school.**********
