Dear Family,
    The following are some of the things we will be working on the first six weeks.  Your child should be able to tell you about the following:

*know what a prompt is, what prompt we are working on and be able to describe the prompt to you.
*a circle starts at two o'clock and goes up and around and down and stops at two o'clock.  Your child should be able to  make a circle.
*what kind of lines we are learning to make.  In our drawing lessons, we will learn to make      straight, squiggle, slanted, zigzag, hump, and v-lines.  Also, how many lines and corners you need to make a triangle, rectangle, and a square.
*how many letters in the alphabet, and the initial, final and medial letters of the alphabet.   Also, recognition and lower case letters Aa-Hh.
*recognize, write and count 0-3
*positions -- left and right and top, middle and bottom
*write first name using lower case letters (Don) and spell name
*group and sort by color
*recognize primary colors
*use scissors and glue correctly
*say days of week and months
*scanning activities
*learn and follow school and classroom rules
*your child should be able to button, zip, and snap.  If not, please practice this.
