This month we will be learning our addresses and we will continue working on phone numbers. Help your child to practice this important information. Many have their name on a “phone” on the wall and will want to earn their “house.” We will look at the letters Y and Z and review the alphabet as well as continue working on letter sounds and the American Sign Language alphabet. We’ll look at the numbers 17, 18 and 19. We will also be looking for signs of spring. We will continue to review shapes, colors as well as rhyming and syllables.
