"Almost all children respond to music. Music is an open-sesame, and if you can use it carefully and appropriately, you can reach into that child's potential for development." Dr. Clive Robbins

Calendar:  This week is Show and Tell.  We have Show and Tell on Wednesday or Thursday.  Since we just had a holiday I thought it would be fun for each student to share either something they got for Christmas they are excited about or tell us about something they did they really enjoyed.
Home Project: I would like to work on phone numbers with the students starting next week.  Could you please send me what phone number you would like your child to know to best get a hold of you. This is important information to know especially before Kindergarten.
This will also emphasis number recognition as well. Practice dialing your phone number
on a “fake” phone at home. If they are having a hard time remembering the number I
recommend putting it to music. It fits well with the “Bingo” song. “My phone number is
seven long and I can dial home, 512-6094, 512-6094, 512-6094 and I can dial home (or I can dial mommy).”
