Jumping in muddy puddles will be encouraged during this unit. We will simulate
this through non messy avenues as well as messy ones. At home, encourage your
child to get dirty and messy while outdoors. Allow them to explore to their hearts
content.
The children will be harvesting crops and herding animals during this unit. At
home allow your child to help with lawn duties and taking care of their pets if
they have any. Use your imagination to help them expand theirs.
The children will be encouraged to imitate their teachers and friends during
circle time as we make different animal sounds and movements. We encourage you
and your child to do the same so practice being silly at home with them.
The children will continue to express themselves with words throughout the day.
We will encourage verbal communication through mimicking, individual and group
discussions. While away from school, encourage your child to use their words, use
this as a tool to open up a dialogue between yourselves.
As a class, we will continue to work on drinking from our small cups without
spilling or crushing our cups. In the event a spillage occurs, we will encourage the
children to clean it up using paper towels.
