PE/ART/Spelling Test (Baby Winston due)
Thank you all for the wonderful gifts and thoughtful cards which
you did not have to send. Mr. Schroder, Rosko, soon to be
Winston and myself appreciate your thoughtfulness and support
during our wait to meet baby “Winston”. Have a super rest of
the year and I will bring in Winston in June for the kids and staff
to see.
1. Play "ON or IN." Place a small box, with a lid that can be opened,
on the table and place a small toy next to it. Tell your child you are
going to pronounce some words that begin with "O" as in on or "I" as
in in. If the word begins like "on," place the toy "on" the box; if like
"in," it should go "in" the box.

2. Play "Big O." Pronounce a series of words. If the word begins with
the short o sound, ask your child to form a large O by raising
his/her hands above his/her head with fingertips touching. Hands
remain down if the word begins with another sound. Say the
following words:
October, olive, on, cat, octopus, policeman, operator, butter, oxen,
give, otter, operation, add, barn, opposite, cardinal, ostrich, oxygen
3. A word guessing game: All the words you guess should begin with
the "O o" sound.

4. Octopus Stories: Have your child draw pictures of an octopus
having an adventure in the ocean. Have him/her tell you a story to
go with the pictures and you write the words down for him/her.
Then have your child find all the O's in his/her story and trace
them with an orange crayon.
