3 Year Olds Newsletter

Dear Parent,

This week we are discussing dental health. We will be learning a tooth brushing song and the importance of brushing your teeth at least twice a day. Your child will be bringing a chart home to keep track of his/her toothbrushing for the week. When it is returned next week, he/she can get a prize. Our learning goals will be: I can listen to a story, I can sing a song, I can match sets of teeth to the numbers to 6, I can cut on a line, I can tell how to care for my teeth, I can determine if a food is healthy for my teeth or not, I can talk about what is happening in a picture, I can find tools that a dentist uses, I can take turns when playing a game, I can match letters, I can create a graph and I can use tweezers. Our story about Jesus this week is how he is the Good Shepherd taking care of us. We have been practicing the Our Father prayer with hand motions. Ask your child to show you.

Tips for Parents from Preschool Teachers

Tip #6 Praise is key, especially if your child is not in a cooperative phase. Try to catch her being good. Kids repeat behaviors that get attention.

Have a blessed week!

Sincerely,

Pamela Nunnelley
