Space Inquiry

Our space inquiry continues. We have made a rocket ship and are accessing non-fiction texts and the internet to research information on our Solar System. Our little ones especially enjoy learning through Storybots!!! Take time to share this learning with your child by visiting   https://www.storybots.com.

We are focusing our research on Earth, Jupiter and Neptune. Here are some samples of what we have discovered ...

Snuggle Up and Read

Each Tuesday and Thursday your child will bring home a new book to read to you.  Please help your child return books on time in order to receive a new book.

Below are a few tips to help you and your child enjoy a rewarding reading experience.

ü  Before opening the book for the first time, discuss the picture on the cover and talk about what the story might be about.

ü  Take a picture walk through the book and discuss what they see happening on each page.

ü  Ask your child to read the text, pointing to each word as they read.

ü  Help your child figure out unknown words by looking at the pictures for clues.

ü  Sound out the letters of a word.

ü  Reinforce that sentences begin with a capital letter and end with some form of punctuation.

ü  Find words from the story that begin or end with the same sound.

ü  Play listening games with words – what words rhyme with: cat, cap, mat, etc.

Most importantly, enjoy your “Snuggle Up” time with your child.  With encouragement and patience, we know that you and your child will find this time valuable and rewarding!

If you are not participating in this program and have books at home, please return them in your child's zippy bag so that other children may enjoy reading these stories!
