Dear Families,
As part of our study of the letter Ff, we will meet our next Superkid, Frits! He is a Native American whose grandfather taught him how to fish.
This brings us right into our study of the first Thanksgiving on a Pre-K/K level. We will briefly discuss the first thanksgiving between the settlers and the Native Americans with books we read during read aloud time.
Fingerprints, French fries, feathers, flamingos, fish, friends, and many other Ff words come to mind, but none as important as family!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we will be reading books about food and family gatherings. A Feast for 10 discusses a family shopping, cooking, and preparing the table together for their family and grandparents. And another favorite is When the Doorbell Rang when students use math skills and talk of sharing also happens!
We will be graphing many favorite fruits and other foods as we talk about Thanksgiving food traditions. Along with this, we will be singing one of Dr. Jean's songs about fast food places and discussing briefly about the importance of eating healthy foods and only fast food sometimes. We will sort cards with foods on them into certain food groups as well.
For Social Studies we will look at our state and national flags.
Most of the students have the sign of the cross down pretty well, so we will be moving on to spending more time on praying some of our other traditional prayers. Kindergarten students have Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be on their report cards. We pray these prayers during the week at different times. We also pray for vocations each week on Tuesday's as we pray and ask Mary to intercede for us. I remind them to listen for God's small voice within them to know His plan for their life.
All part of our call to holiness!
It is a joy to hear our newest students saying the daily prayers with us.
Looking forward to a good week!
Peace,
Mrs. Barreca
