The first step to reading readiness is being able to understanding that there is a relationship between letters and sounds through written language. Children who cannot hear and work with the phonemes of spoken words will have a difficult time learning how to relate these phonemes to letters when they see them in written words. Before reading groups begin, our K Prep students are working hard (and playing hard) to connect each letter with the sound it makes as well as identifying the first sound in a spoken word. How do we learn this important skill in K Prep? Playful learning!
The K Prep class has been busy exploring their new classroom! So many new things to see and do for our new year. We have been working hard the past two days understanding the difference between letters and words, building words and taking them apart (segmenting). These activities were done using student’s names so we can’t post those activities on the blog, but you can view the children hard at work on these activities on our ClassDojo stories. Looking forward to a wonderful year with these sweet K Preppers.
We took advantage of our smaller groups today and paired each of our KPrep students up with a Preschool Prep student. The buddies worked together to build big shapes with smaller shapes over in the Kprep room! The preschool preppers were so excited to come visit the big room and have a big buddy to get to know. Then we marched over to the preschool prep room with our buddies and the little guys got to share their favorite centers with the older kids. We had fun with our buddies today!!
The K Prep class has been studying the artist Henri Matisse this week as we work on one of our Art Show projects. We learned that Matisse not only loved to paint with bright colors, but later in his life “painted” with his scissors. We tried our hand today at his unique style. We have some creative artists in our class!
