Letter Rr Week!
This week is our last week in the theme “Construction Zone” and we will study the letter Rr. We will discuss the color red and rectangle shape. Also, we will conduct a skittle rainbow experiment and discuss the colors in the rainbow. We will read stories about how building things requires planning and working together. Please continue to review all the other letters and letter sounds taught this year (S,T,P,O,Y.B,U,F,X, W,Z,M,A). We have already learned half of the alphabet! It is important for your child to know all the letters and letter sounds when he/she goes to Kindergarten next year.
