Parent Newsletter: Seventh Week of School

Dear Parents,
     Today our main focus was on learning and building vocabulary. I created an activity to develop vocabulary and focus on building basic sentence structure with Legos. For the past few weeks we have been learning a list of vocabulary words and what each word means. On simple white labels I wrote all of the vocabulary words along with words such as he, she, as, is, has, etc. I created four sets of the Lego vocabulary words. I then split the class into groups and had them compose sentences using the Lego blocks. For example, one group came up with the sentence, the girl makes me giggle. The children enjoyed working in a group and using one of their favorite toys, Legos. It was a lot of fun seeing the children smile while they learned.
                                                                                      Sincerely,
                                                                                       Ms. Gammell
