Parent Newsletter: Fourth Week of School





Dear Parents,
                The activity that students enjoyed most today was the alphabet race. Throughout the past few weeks we have been learning the letters of the alphabet. In addition, we are working on memorizing the vowels. I set up a pile of alphabet letters on one side of the room. Then I grouped the students into three groups. In the pile there was three of every letter. I then explained the rules and guidelines and rules to the game. Then the groups lined up and when I called out a letter one student from each group would race to the pile and try to be the first to find the letter. We kept track and I awarded one point to the group that found the individual letter first. In the end, the group with the most points was the winner. This was an interactive lesson that the kids were able to use their minds and energy. It was fun seeing the kids laughing while they were learning.
                                                                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                                                                Ms. Gammell
