Listen to todays story https://www.ryanandcraig.com/blog/2019/2/9/ten-thank-you-letters-by-daniel-kirk
Today the story was about writing thank you letters, discuss with your child why you might write a Thank you letter? How do you think the person getting the letter feels? How do you think Grandma Pig felt when she got pig's letter? How did Pig feel when he got Rabbits letter?
Did Rabbit really write 10 thank you letters? Why don't you count and see, can you think of some of the people he wrote thank you letters too?
Writing a thank you note helps your child show appreciation and respect for others that do things for them that are nice or make their lives better. We have been working on being respectful and appreciative in the classroom.
Today's challenge was to write a thank you letter to a health care worker. To thank them for all that they are doing to keep everyone safe and healthy during this time. Your child could draw a picture and dictate what they what to say in the letter. They could write Thank you, and all the preschoolers know how to write their names.
Emma Concannon (Jacks Mom) has made the offer to collect the letters and send them to a local hospital from Mrs. Geidner's Preschool class. Please contact Emma directly at [email protected] for the address of where to send your child's letter.
I hope many friends choose to do this challenge, I am sure it would bring smiles to the dedicated health care workers that are putting themselves at risk during this time. I also want to thank Emma for the suggestion and sending the letters.
The missing letter today was the letter T. Have your child practice writing the letter T, remind them to start at the top, big line down, froggy jump up little line across the top. they can practice writing Thank you. See how many words your child can think of that start with the "T" sound, or have them count how many T's are in the morning message.
