Letter M Week
January 23, 2026
Dear TK Families,
It was a magnificent week filled with magnets and purchases at the Market!
You probably noticed that your child brought home a white paper bag containing some items! Along with these items was a sheet with 10 paper pennies glued on it. We merchandised our Math area with many items, a few of these being bubbles, stickers, and plastic jewelry. This became our TK Market! Each child received 10 paper pennies that they would be able to “spend” in our market. After browsing through the market and deciding what they would like to “buy”, each child chose one item they wanted. They brought this item back to the table, checked the price, and put that number of pennies down on their sheet. Did they choose a 10 cent item or did they choose a 5 cent item? The next step was to determine if they had any money left over to buy something else. The children seemed very happy with their purchases and were excited to bring their items home!
Ask your child if they can show you our Macarena Months of the Year dance! We practiced this throughout the week and it is amazing how quickly the children learned the moves and the months!
At group time this week, we played Musical Chairs. The children danced around the table to music, and when the music stopped, they had to write an upper or lowercase letter that the teacher called out. This was a fun way to get them to practice writing the letter, and their dance moves!
Some questions to ask your child:
- Can your child tell you what songs we sang music class?
- Did your child test out magnetic wands at the Science table?
- What did your child write about in his/her journal this week?
For the next two weeks, we will concentrate on the letter N. We will focus on the letter for the first week and the numbers for the second week.
Have a lovely weekend!
Best,
Lynn, Mandee and Emily
