Mrs. Johnson's Young Fives Classroom
Welcome to the Young Fives program at Chapman Elementary! I am Mrs. Johnson.
I have many fun and exciting things planned for the year. The Young 5's program is designed
to provide your child with many opportunities to learn, explore, and grow. I am interested
in your child as an individual and will be planning experiences to help your child grow
intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. I hope to expand his/her ability to meet
new situations, encourage him/her to explore new ways to gather information and build a positive
self-image.
To help your child grow to the best of their ability:
Read to him/her on a daily basis.
Practice writing his/her name.
Practice the alphabet. Visual recognition and the formation of the capital
letters first, then the lower case formation and the sound that each letter
makes.
Practice counting. Visual recognition and the formation of the number.
Also, putting objects into sets.
Recognizing A,B and A,B,C patterns, and being able to read them.
Ask your child about their day each and every day.
