The excitement for Art Expo is growing and the school is a buzz with tickets sales, music, costume ideas, dance moves, art pieces and projects left right and center. One of our most spectacular events next week Friday. Just when you think one year can’t be as good as the next it really takes you by surprise I think we have really pulled this one out of the bag!!! 

Even though we have been hard at work preparing for our beautiful Art Expo, we got some serious learning done this week in the Curious Crew class.  

I have told the Crew many times that learning our alphabet is one of the most important parts of learning in the Curious Crew class. There were 2 different alphabet games we played. Placing letters of the alphabet on the carpet, we went around in the circle and the Crew got to choose 2 letters and come up and tell the class which letters they had chosen. Then on another day we lay the letters down and again going around in the circle, I told each Crew which 2 letters they had to find on the carpet. And I was super impressed with how well the Crew know their letters! It makes me SO proud, we are getting there with our letter recognition. YAY. 

Another important activity we did this week was letter formation. Because name writing in one of the first writings our little ones do, we started with correct letter formation of the letters of their names.  

During story time this week we have started learning about rhyming words. This has been so much fun to do while reading stories with the Crew and I have told them that this is something they can do with you as parents at home. So what I do is read the sentence putting emphasis on the first rhyming word then I will let them guess the next rhyming word. You will be pleasantly surprised at how well they guess the next word. 

Next week’s theme: Art Expo
