"Monkeys" Letter of the Week

   

Happy New Year!
  I can't wait to see all my sweet Pre-K students on Tuesday! I miss them so much!
You may email me a photo of something fun your child did over the break. For example, seeing family, opening presents, playing with a new toy, etc.. Then your child can show it to all their friends on the big screen.
Please send a water bottle, coat, and extra change of clothes everyday. 

   We will be learning about monkeys this week.
There are currently 264 known monkey species.
Monkeys can be divided into two groups,
Old World monkeys that live in Africa and Asia, and New World monkeys that live in South and Central America.
Most monkeys have tails.
Mandrills are the world’s largest monkeys and Pygmy Marmosets are the world's smallest monkeys.
Our letter is "M '' and our song is "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed".
