Literacy week:
Young children who still do not recognize letters and cannot read even simple words for themselves, will develop pre-reading skills when they hear text aloud. Looking at the printed text and pictures children’s books as they read aloud will let your young child begin to understand reading and in the future read all by themselves! Reading daily to young children, starting in infancy, can help with language acquisition and literacy skills. This is because reading to your children in the earliest months stimulates the part of the brain that allows them to understand the meaning of language and helps build key language, literacy and social skills.
This week we focused on Sandra Boynton’s books! Sandra Boynton’s books are not only funny but they are also filled with humor and of course, Animals! We started the week with our favorite book, Moo Baa LaLaLa, we also created a cow and the following day the children pretended to be a cow!
We would like to thank Shaun for coming thursday to Celebrate Holi with us. Holi is popularly known as the Indian "festival of spring", the "festival of colours", or the "festival of love". The festival signifies the arrival of spring, the end of winter, the blossoming of love, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. This year we celebrated this festival with our infant B and 1B friends!
