Hello Parents,
This week we learned about farm animals and had fun reading farm books. For most of us it was a journey to a place not like home; I can’t remember the last time I visited a farm.
It’s great to “visit” new kinds of places to stir up wonder and discovery!
Happy Learning, Teacher Laura

Here’s a game to remember good manners. Parents, this game will help your child grow in the skill of listening and responding in conversation.
MOTHER, MAY I ?
For this game you need a “mother” on one side of the yard or room and other players in a line across the other end of the room.
One at a time the mother calls out the name of a player and tells them how many steps they can take toward her, and what kind of step, either a baby step, medium step or giant step. “Katy, you may take one giant step.”
If Katy remembers to say these words “MOTHER MAY I? “ then she gets to take one giant step forward. If she forgets to say “mother may I” and takes the giant step, she has to go back to where she was until her next turn.
The winner is the one that reaches the mother first!

PARENT – Take a summertime walk outside with your child to look for signs of summer and listen for summer sounds. Ask questions and help her use her sense of touch, sight, hearing and smell.
