Exploring Sensational Senses!
Without trying, children endlessly use their senses to explore their ever growing world. This month’s topic focuses individually on the senses and opens opportunities to children of how to use their senses that they may not have yet considered. We’ll feel our way through our familiar environment, touch cold ice, smell sweet fruit, and taste many flavors while we learn with our Sensational Senses!
Also this month, we will be doing tests! Motor skills tests, memory tests, and overall skills tests. Expect to see an evaluation form in your Friday folders soon!
Keep the learning going!
As a parent, we’re sure you know that your child’s learning experiences are endless, so keep the learning going on at home and everywhere you are with your child!
Speak some Spanish!
Eye – ojo See – ver Sense – sentido
Body – cuerpo Touch – tocar Taste – sabor

Reading Corner
Read to your kids! Studies show that babies read to learn to read and comprehend earlier then children not read to. You do not have to be a skilled reader to successfully read to your baby. It is the act of reading, not necessarily, what you are reading. Babies enjoy being held and listening to your voice. Your baby will learn to speak sooner and they will learn to read and write sooner than babies not read to.
