We had another exciting week in the yellow
starfish classroom! Even though it was a short week we have done a
lot!!! The students participated in some
focused activities as well as a lot of exploration. J
This last week we…
*had a fun appearance from Professor Peabody
(aka Ms. Jo) who gave us clues and sent us on a search! (The clues were all
about the letters, and boy did we find them EVERYWHERE after that!!!)
*practiced writing letter Ss and read books such
as Silly Sally, Smelly Socks, Swimmy, and The Stray Dog.
*observed like scientists (with our sense of
sight) a real snake skeleton and drew a picture of it.
*played with snakes (pretend onesJ) in the sensory table
*wrote numbers on paper snakes and dotted the
correct number of dots to practice one to one correspondence
*learned the poem The Sandwich and made real and
paper sandwiches that are just like the ones in the poem! Kiddos who wanted to made sandwiches, and
independently spread butter, jam, jelly, and peanut butter on the bread to make
them.
*worked with S pattern blocks
*learned the Alphabet Song and compared/matched
the upper case letters with the lower case letters. Can your child
remember the number of letters in the alphabet?
*talked about what makes us the same and what
makes us different and then made pizza faces for fun.
*made name bracelets to practice the letters in
our names and other students in the class.
*read pattern books and made patterns with
unifix cube blocks. We also used the
blocks to measure and compare.
*used wood and other natural materials to build.
FAMILY/IDENTITY
BANNER
In your child’s zippy pouch are the instructions
for your and your child to make a family/identity banner. Please read
them and have fun…the entire family can help with this project. J (This is pretty much the only “homework” your
child with have in Pre K J) If you would like me to
send home a piece of paper for you to use, please let me know what color and I
would be happy to do so. (I just wanted
as much individuality as possible, but I can easily send paper home with your
child if that helps you out J)
