Kindergarten session number 2 was tons of fun! The letters this week are T, P, and F. The sight words were: a, I, and. We practiced writing these letters and words and practicing identifying them with activities and songs. The kids played games to work on letter and sight word identification. In math we continued counting numbers to 20. We ended the session by reading the book “The Quacken” by Justin Colón. All of the picture books I’ve chosen this summer are SSYRA Jr. books, which have been chosen to expose young readers to high quality stories.
