January Planning

In January, we're going to focus on the letter C and how it can sound like /k/ or /s/.  


Concepts for January:


1.  COLORS:  We'll be using the Color Song by The Learning Station for our transition song.  See below for the video link to the Color Song.  Have your child point out the color blue one day while out and about.  Another day, point out as many red things as you can find.  Keep going with the rest.

2.  WHO QUESTIONS:  Who is wearing Red?  Blue?  Green? Yellow? Purple?  Orange?  Pink?  Brown?  Black?  White?


3.  FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS:  The Color Song give specific instructions on what to do if you are wearing a certain color.  Here is a great way to teach 1-step directions.  "If you are wearing red, shake your head."


4.  OPPOSITES:  hot/cold, big/little, fast/slow.


5.  DESCRIPTIVE WORDS:  along with colors and opposites for descriptive words, what else can we use?  We'll be talking a lot about "Cold" and what other words we can use:  icy, frosty, chilly, frozen, and snowy.


6.  Our last week will be all about cereal and descriptive words:  soft/crunchy, big/little, sweet/savory, hot/cold.  Snack time will involve cereal and talking about colors, shapes, size, and yummy/yucky.
