What Did We Learn About This Week?
We learned about letter Q this week! We practiced making letter Q with Play-Doh and Wiki Stix. We also wrote about letter Q in our writing journals.
We read two stories this week: “The Hat,”and, “The Mitten,” by Jan Brett. We talked about the characters and the problems in the stories.

Fun Weekend Activity Idea!
Our class has been spending a lot of time building with cups in the Block Area. This is fun because it allows the children to use real-life materials for learning purposes. This weekend, I encourage your child to build with cups! As they build, they can count how many cups they are using to build a tower.
