Your child and environmental print!

Next week, we will be introducing "environmental print". That is, letters, symbols, words or pictures in the environment that have meaning (for example, a stop sign "stop", golden arches mean McDonalds, the Target sign = Target) to our kids. Talk with your child about how even though they may not know all their letters/sounds, they already know how to read. If you have a chance, take a few moments with your child to help cut out/print some examples of environmental print that your child already knows to bring in on Monday.

Wish List
2 gallon plastic bags (24),  24 pairs of ear buds for use of I-PODS, etc.. (can be purchased at the dollar store), scented markers, magnetic tape, (24) *8quart dish pan/racks for under chair storage (can be purchased at the dollar store), wikki sticks, pipe cleaners, 24 single subject notebooks, 2 packs of protective sleeve covers, and extra snacks for those days when a student forgets to bring one.
*Must be an 8quart dish pan/rack, as they are the only ones that will fit securely under student chairs.
