Environmental Print Class Project

What’s for Breakfast?

           An Environmental Print Class Project


Your child can have fun learning to read even when books are not available. “Environmental Print” is the print that is around him/her every day. It’s the words your child sees on street signs, signs on buildings, the store shelves, while in the check out line, or anywhere there are words. 

Many children see cereal boxes every day. They can be a
good way to develop the desire to learn to read because
they are colorful, interesting and inviting to young readers.

We will be doing a project with cereal boxes.  I will need your help.  Could you please over the next few weeks, send in the front part of the box of cereal that your child likes the most. It is possible to cut the front part of the box without destroying the box itself.  We just need the front side.

Thanks for your help with this environmental print project!

Letter formation

As we are learning letters by sight and their sound, we are also learning how to print them.  Here are some of the language we use in class to prompt the children to print letters.

Kindergarten curriculum and Parent Teacher conferences

Today in your child's message bag you will find an invitation to come and talk with me about your child's kindergarten experience. I have put a suggested date and time; however if this does not work for you, just respond back and let me know a time that would work.  Here is a link to the Prince Edward Island integrated kindergarten curriculum document.  It interested you can look over it to give you an idea of the skills we will be working on this year.
